The stock feeding Industry In Colo
RADIO has made wonderful advancement
during the past few years. but In no
previous year has the advancement
been so marked ms Ia the year Just
ended. The phenomenal advance In
sheep values and the consequent great
profits made by feeders has given an
impetus to the feeding business That
promises to last. Last year II IN asts'
mated that close To Il million sheep
and lambs were turned out OF Colorado
feed lots. IL ~ believed that during
the present season the number will
exceed 100000. The profits last sca.
son to the feeders was close TO $1,000
900. During the coming season II IN
hoped that the profits will be ms large.
but the increased price paid for the
sheep and lambs ON the range. makes
this probicmntical. Thus far. condi'
lions In the feed lots have been ideal.
Prices on the market are higher than
ever and give every promise Of contin'
ning. lf they do. the profits Will be
fully ms large as last year.
The greatest advanc. In sheep feed
Ing has been In the San Luis valley.
\ year ago the number OF sheep on
feed In that section was estimated Mt
10000. This year II IL more than dou'
bile that number. The effort now being
made to provide n market In Denver
for nil the sheep fattcncd In the state
will still further boom this branch OF
the feeding business, rs one Of the
greatest drawbacks 10 the business
has been the long distance TO market
which causes heavy shrinkagc and
