While it is not the policy of The
Stockman to dictate in such matters,
we would simply suggest that when a
buyer visits your range and offers a
fair price for your cattle, and your
range is in any degree oyerstocked,
think well before you refuse the Offer
Holding on too long for a higher figure
may result in your losing chance to
sell, which in some cases results dis
astrously. A bank account and a
more free range are comfortable things
to have and think about, when your
neighbor is suffering and losing cattle
from such cause. This is matter for
consideration just now.-Willcox
