An Apache county cattleman says:
In my opinion, Apache county has for
sale the the coming season, should prices
justify, abont 5000 yea ling steers, 49,
600 twos, 8, 1000 to 10000 threes and over.
The condition Of cattle just now is only
fair. the range is only passable, and the
grass prospects for the coming year very
poor. doubt II the yearlings will be
sold, for as yet no cowmen in this vicin-
ity have ever sold any yearlings. There
promises to be a strong demand for feed
ers from California this spring, but as
they offer only *l2 for twos, I can't see
how anyone can sell them at those fig
ures and live. We can't raise steers on
the open range for $l2 per head.
