A Montana paper says the beef product
OF Montana will fall far short this summer
oil what 1t was last. Many of our best
posted cattle growers estimate that the
seasons shipments will not reach last
years figures by so per cent. This is prin-
cipal'y due to the exceedingly large loss OF
calves during the hard winter three wears
ago. Nearly all the fall branding and a
considerable number of the spring brand
ing persisted that winter. The usual age OF
marketing beeves has been at four year 8
Old, but the good prices last year induced
most STOCK growers to sell their three.year-
olds. The yield was, however, light, owing
TO the blackleg, which played such havoc
among the calves the year previous to the
hard winter. Next year, however the har.
vest will be good. and confined largely TO
iour-year.olds, as extensive growers have
learned that they commit an error in mar
ketlng their steers before they reach that
age, and there is great outcome in three
year'olds; besides at the age of four they
are better fitted for the market.
