III addition To that, cattle men have
spa,pd and sold a great many COWS
to butchers aud Gamers when they
were In CONDITION To bring ANY
price at all. The same thing ap-
plies in less degree to Colorado.
Nevada aud Wyoming Feed is
scarce IL some of the best ranges
in Central and Eastern Nevada,
ard with even such a Winter as
last, the loss will be heavy. The
mos Intelligent cattle men are pre-
pairing 10 relieve their ranges as
much as possible. Scott & Co. have
sent large drafts of cattle North.
Russell & Bradley sold about a
quarter of a million dollars worth.
and Sparks & I mmin aie selling
5000 head Of yearineS and two
year niGS. besides their regular
beef shipment They are also ship
ping to their Cheyenne range all
the two-year d heifers they have
room for there. For these reasons
men like Mr. Davis confidently ex-
pect to see beef scarce and high for
several years to come The report
er asked Mr.. Davis opinion of
Nevada from
A CATTLEMANs STANDPOINT.
He gave it freely and expressed
it as his unqualified opinion that
Nevada was almost the safest part
Of this continent for cattle. No
where is the loss by drouth or dis
ease Sd little. There seems to be
certainty Of snow il the mountains
even in the worst years, so there
are 40 such "Gic ups" as there are
in other countries BY drouth. Texas
sometimes goes two years without
4 drop of rain on the range lands. |
Nevada escapes the northern Win |
tiers by having grease wood, willows.
and other bushes for |
the cattle to browS on when the |
grass is showed under for week,
which often happens in Wyoming
and elsewhere. There may be a
little poison among the weeds but
not much. and excepting a little
blacklee, Nevada seems to be al |
most absolutely free from disease.
and with the high altitude, pare
bracing air, and excellent water.
such plaques as pleuro pneumonia.
Texas fever. etc. have no terrors |
for the COW man The increase
seems to be certain and the loss in
young calves very light The coun. !
try however seems to be adapted to
small ranges. From 5000 to 10000
head of cattle seem to be about the
limit that the ranges can safely |
carry. Many men own more Of |
course, but they divide them up |
and keep them on seperate ranges.
Sparks & Tinnln have five or six
outfits for their hundred |
thousand head, and the same with |
others who carry from 10000 to 25.-
OOO head. Mr.. Davis thinks Texas |
Is.
