There are but few hay-fed steers re-
manning in the state and these viii soon be
gone. Fifty dollars is about the average
price for this kind of stock, with an occa-

There are many small ranches in the state
where hay can be made cheaply and where
there is no market save that secured by
cattle feeding. These should all be utilized
Fat steers in the spring time are always
good property and bring ready cash. Four
cent beef on 81 hay is good financiering in
any country. - Northwestern Livestock
