Western Stock Show at Denver VIII
Attract the Most Valuable Stock
In the Country


In the Country.
The National Western Stock Show
chat will be held in Denver the week
of January Goth will bring there some
cattle in the country. The advent of
such cattle into the far west is an In
dication Of the evolution in the cattle
business that has been in progress for
the past few years. Some Of these
herds, consisting of only a few cattle.
are worth more than many of the big
range herds Of the early days. In the
pioneer days Of the western cattle
baron, cows were worth ten dollar
bill and SIS was enough to pay for a
bull. The kind that will be shown at
this show sell as high at $4,000 for
a single animal and the poorest speci-
men will average we'll over 500. One
of the interesting features OF the show
is the public sales of pure bred cattle.
These sales are under the direction OF
the National Record Associations OF
the various breeds and only specially
selected animals are offered, COM
mittee of disinterested breeders pass
ing upon the cattle to be sold and re-
jecting all that are not strictly accord
ing to type. These cattle are onered
without reserve to the highest bidder,
not as a money making proposition but
to encourage stockmen to invest in
these choice animals and thus discover
the advantage of breeding choice cat
tie. There is always great interest In
these sales for most of the cattle are
young and the buyer may secure at
low price an animal that will develop
into an individual of great value. In
stances have been known where ami
mails sold at these sales at couple
of hundred dollars have later been
bought back by the original breeder
at as many thousands.
The offerings at the Eenver show
this year are said to be of unusual
high quality as the various breeds are
seeking to make their cattle popular
In the west. The Shorthorn Associa-
ton will sell fifty head and the Here
ford Association is offering 100 head.
The Galloway Association will sell
fifty head. The Aberdeen Angus breed
VIII not have a special sale this year
hut there will be some choice speci-
mems offered at low prices at private
sale. Through these sales the results
Of this annual exhib, lion will within
a few years attract the attention Of
the country by reason of the improved
quality Of the cattle OF the west.
