Live Stock World; Reports from the
range country have been to the effect
that the cattle are exceptionally good
in quality this year, but the shipment
from Belle Fourche this week did no,
c~orroborate this assertion. While, some
Of the rattle were fairly good, they were
not up to the standard expected. l,
was hard for buyers and sellers to get to
gether, as neither side knew Just VIVA,
the cattle we're worth. Sellers were
afraid to bid high, as they were uncer
tain how the steers would dress out. l,
was late in the day, therefore, before
many Of the cattle were sold. The
Mallette steers brought s4.35 q $3.50
with heifers at s4.I5. The Holt consign
ment sold at S4.2o.

Harmon says that it does no bottle
him this year to get all the fodde

scour the country for places to Gu
wild hay as many ranchers are doing a
the present time.
