On the Kansas City m0rket a
steer sold recently for S162.65.

I. on March 26, in which the per-
formers were all Arizona cowboys,
Doc Goodwin won the first prize
and next to the worlds record by
lassoing and tying a 5-year-old
wild steer in fo~rty-eight seconds.
One of the cowboys caught the
steer with the lasso, and, in throw
ing him, horse, man and steer we're
thrown in a heap together. The
maddened brute gain ed his
feet first and charged the fallen
man and horse, catching his horns
in the saddle, thus saving the
mans life. Another steer charged
a horse after the rider had dis
mounted to tie him, but Tom Will
lis, a cowboy, caught the animal
by the horns and succeeded in
throwing and tying him.
j. M. Holt, of the Mezpa cattle
company, Miles City, Montana,
will ship 300 cars of cattle this
spring from Arizona and New
Mexico to Denver, and drive from
there to Montana.
From information by private
letter we learn that Jem Baird,
assistant to w. II. II. Llewellyn,
live stock agent for the Santa Fe
at Albuquerque, has sold to w. E.
Anderson, of Rocky Ford, Col, g.
600 steers from the Sacramento
mountains, where Mr.. Baird for
merly resided. These steers have,
for the past three years, gone to
Clayton, but through the good
management of Mr.. Baird, this
year the cattle will go to Engle for
shipment.-Stock Grower.
The first cattle brought into the
New England colonies arrived at
Plymouth in 1924, and were i'm
ported from England by Governor
Winslow. Three heifers and a
bull made up the cargo; ain color"
the old record says, 'they were
black, black and white, and brin-
die" In 1926 twelve COWS were
sent TO Cape Ann, and in 1929
thirty more. In 1880 about 100
were imported 'for the exclusive
use of the colony of Massachu-
sets bay" During the same year
108 we're sent from Holland to
New FORK, SO that by the syear
1880 there were a good many head
of cattle in the different colonies.
The reader naturally thinks Of
these animals as superb specimens
of the bovine tribe, but they were
not. History, that is the curious
and interesting part of history
tells us that the average weight Of
fat cattle in the Liverpool marke.
as late as ITO was only $40 pounds.
Compare these with Jumbo" the
large steer that Col. William Sin
gerly of Philadelphia proposes t.
exhibit at the Worlds fair weigh
ing 1000 pounds and the evolu
ton in cattle breeding of the pas
two centuries becomes wonderful
Two hundred and eighty heaC
| of fed cattle were recently sold t,
D a local shipper at $40 per head
= These steers were bought at 50
K per head delivered at the feeding
e pens. They were fed 100 DAYS a
a cost not to exceed so per head
e We know of another lot of LOO
steers which were recently bough
by feeders at $21 per head an
they cannot be bought today 70
less than $40 per head. This lo
t of cattle will net the feeder, at pre-
vailing prices, from SO to $40 pc
h head. This profit of SO per hea
J. on these cattle should have bee
made by the grower. There
money in feeding good cattl,
The profit however, is not so gre,
in the cattle business that til
10 grower can afford to throw ava
y any part of it. The profit of I'll
n middleman must be saved by I'll
producer. The ranchman mu.
n mature his own cattle to secul
/ the grestest profit. Texas StocI
