s sile CITY aIler a SIX weeks visit in the
feedlng district OF Colorado, and is staying
at rho Kenyon. Mr. HOutZ put ia mos
OF hlS time at Fl. COLLINS where there are
I1oUO head of lambs feeding. The greater
part Of these are from the New Mexico
ana Arizona districts, and y few are from
Utah and Wyoming
The Mexican lambs, while they mature
earlier said Mr. Houtz do not give
the same results for the same amount of
Ieeding as the lambs from this territory.
2ut OF LOO feeders in the neighborhood OF
fOrt Cofllns 10 went TO Mexico and ATi-
iona this year for their lambs. ard only
ABOUT twenty-five came to this territory
Inc latter are, however. getting greater
results than from the ordinary class of
Mexlcan lambs. l expect the greater part
OF these feeders viii come to this terri
tory next year for their lambs Mexican
and Arizona lambs are of a poor quality
compared with those that are bred in this
country. There Is as much difference in
IeeqlnS good ana poor lambs as there is in
1ddding good and poor steers. and feeders
seneraAy agree with me on this point.
Lambs from this country. that four

snear1ng, contrary to expectations. The
taking of as high as $50 a head for shorn
sheep. This is more than the wOOl is
WORTH to the feeder. and 1t Will pay him
better to let the lambs go with the wool .
