The Dickinson press., 1902-09-13
Ranch Talk

c. R. Pendergast: In quoting my
sales last week the PRESS should have
said 80 1l64-cows at s4.7s per cwt. The
Drovers Journal quoted the sale as be-
ing steers and so the PRESS could not be
expected to know any different. The
cows brought a little better than SIS each
in Chicago.

carload of cattle belonging to himself
and c. c. Mead.
On Wednesdays market w. L. Rich.
ards sold II steers at S. per cwt. that
averaged 1900 pounds in weight, which
we believe, is the largest average weigh,
for so large a number of CRASHED cattle
ever marketed from North Dakota. The
steers were natives, 4 years old, mostly
grade Herefords, and two OF them
weighed over 1900 pounds each. If these
steers had been on the market five weeks
earlier they would easily have brought
$3.50 per cwt., but Mr.. Richarda says
that the average Of SIS per steer is
enough money for him.

Taft sold steers the same day at s4.3s
