Any farmer who depends on buying
all the cattle he cares to feed loses sight
of one of the best opportunities before
him for getting feeders economically.
Cattle feeders are paying too much for
stock to feed. Since good heifers are be-
coming popular in the markets it should
not be difficult matter for any farmer
to have something like car load OF
good cattle of his own raising for his
feed yard each year. He can in this way
find market for an extra !. 500 bushels
of corn. He gets the best price for his
grain, and his cattle are better than he
can buy, for they are high grade cattle,
and 90 to market in that condition
which will bring all that the market
will bear for good stock.
