Gary Sefton demonstrates an animal calling device. Sefton's booth offered calls for turkeys, deer and squirrels, as well as a predator caller that mimics a dying rabbit. Sefton said the sound of a dying rabbit is a great way to lure coyotes.

MOULTRIE, Ga. — From turkey calls to cattle stalls, exhibitors seem to think Sunbelt Agriculture Exposition is a worthwhile investment of time and money. Evidence for that opinion are the many who have been coming back to Moultrie for decades.

Among those is Priefert Ranch Equipment, which has had a presence at the three-day farm show for at least 32 years.

Having its products in use in the show’s cattle section where people can see them is a huge reason the company does well in Moultrie, said Jason King, Priefert sales representative Jason King.

“People come and say they saw us on YouTube and want to see it hands-on,” King said. “I think that’s the key to selling our equipment. They can use it.”

Other people who made purchase in previous years return time after time during Expo to make additional purchases, he said. Others say they are stopping by because friends and neighbors spoke highly of the company’s products.

Initially the company brought four units to its booth, then expanded to eight and was at 16 for the 2017 show that ended on Thursday.

“This is a great show for us,” King said. “Hands-on is working well for us. I would say the last three years have been really good for us here.”

Another long-time exhibitor is Gary Sefton, who sells animal calls used for turkey, deer, squirrels and coyotes. Sefton, of Fayetteville, Tennessee, also has written books on hunting that he had at the Expo exhibition booth in the hunting and fishing section of the show.

“It’s a great place,” he said. “If it wasn’t, I wouldn’t be coming back for 25 years.”

While speaking with a reporter, Sefton took time out to give instructions to Wyatt Ferguson, whose mother bought him a diaphragm turkey call.

“The thing I like about it is the kids,” Sefton said.
