Stock Losses in
Wyoming Normal

Russell Thorpe Of Lusk. wyo,. one Of
ihe most extensive cattle and sheep feed
ers in tho state, Is in Omaha. Discussing
The live stock situation in Wyoming, Mr..
Thorpe says 1t is no where as serious
as It promised to be when the spell of
frigid weather was lowering over the
country He figures that the losses Of
the csttIemen and flockmasters will be
Just about normal.
Both cattle and sheep are thinner than
usual, owing to the long continued cold,
bu: aside from this, they are in very
good condition and are going to come
through the winter fairly well unless there
should be unusually cold weather and bad
storms during February and March.
According to Mr.. Thorpe, outside of the
cattle ana sheep country. people do not
understand the situation. With many the
opinion prevails that the owners OF stock
go into the winter with little hay. expect
ing that their animals will subsist picking
the dry grass on the range. The situation
is quite the reverse Of this.
