Colorado Feed Lots.

The fall movement OF sheep and
lambs TO the feed lots has commenced
and the Indications are that the Colo
rado feed lots will be better supplied
than they were last season. says the
Denver Record Stockman. Last win.
ter abnut a million head were fatiencd.
This season IL Is estimated that there
will be 500, 900 head in northern Colo
rado alone. In addition there Will be
about 100000 head In the San Luis
valley. and about 100000 In the Ar
kansas valley. Eastern feed lots VIII
not be so well supplied as usucl, be-
cause the Colorado buyers were first In
the field and secured the bulk of the
sheep and lambs. Prices paid on the
range have been much higher than
usual that the feeders do not look for
anything Ike the profit they had last
winter and In many instances the feed
ing operations are conducted for the
principal purpose of disposing OF the
crops, and feeders will be satisfied
with a fair price for their hay and
grain. II is estimated that II will take
market price OF 500 per hundred
pounds to let the feeders out even.
With wool as high as II Is, II Is geneT.
ally believed that there will be no dif.
iiculty in securing cents per pound
for choice lambs in the spring.
The catile-feeding proposition is also
attracting more attention than usual
all over the state. There will be quite
a number of cattle fed In the western
part of the state, and operations in
northern Colorado and the Arkansas
valley will also be heavier than usual.
The announcement of the coming of
the big packers 10 this market will
have the effect of booming this end of
the business. as one OF the drawbacks
heretofore has been the long distance
shipping and consequent heavy shrink.
