number Of fat cattle on ranches along
the Missouri river and on the Sioux re-
s~ervation. The drouth last season spoil.
ed much pasture and materially lessened
the supply OF beef cattle. As a conse-
quence early spring shipments have fall
en- far below what was anticipated
Ranchmen are marketing the better
grades, but the supply is limited AS com
pared with former years, and unless pas
turage Is unusually early the demand
will greatly exceed the supply. This
means an advance in prices for beef cat

river country ranchemen report stock IN
average condition, and Il few e
feeding will put them In marketable
shape, but the number Is less than fol-
several previous years. Nearly all young
stock from north and west ranches was
marketed last fall, and but few remain
for spring shipment.
