Animals From the Ranch OF D. D.
Walker are Wonders.
The Anaconda Standard contains
the following account Of the cattle
shipment from the ranch OF d. u.
Walker, a brother of J. G. and Noble
Walker;
What is conceded to be the largest
and best herd of beef cattle ever raised
in the Big Hole valley arrived in the
city last evening and will be loaded
early this morning at the East Ana
conda stockyarls. The cattle have
been purchased for the Chicago mark
ct by A. G.. Greenameyer from D. D.
Walker of this city, who owns the
largest ranch in the famous little val.
ley. There are $50 head in the herd
and some of the largest weigh more
than LOO pounds, while there is one
monster that is estimated at close to
1000 pounds.
"Mr. Walker has given his stock
interests his personal attention this
winter and Mr.. Greenameyer states
that without doubt he has turned out
the largest and best trainload of cat
tie ever produced in this country, and
that it is improbable that anything
nearly So good will reach Chicago this
year.
I'm speaking of conditions in the
Big Hole, Mr.. Walker said that al
the fat cattle had been shipped and
that the stock cattle were in splendid
shape. He says the country never
looked better and predicts another
very prosperous season. More thar
II 900 head of beef have been shipped
from the valley this spring.
