During the past twelve months cat
tie buyers have been active In Louis
lana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia
and Florida, purchasing cattle to be
shipped to the middle western mar
kets as either Gamers or stockers.
The prices paid for Gamers during
this period have been SO high that
thousands of cows and heifers have
gone to the shambles which should
have been retained on the farms for
breeding purposes. This is especially
noticeable when the receipts of south
ern cattle at the ST. Louis market
for the last II months are compared
with those for any previous period of
similar length. The receipts Of Ala
bama, Mississippi and Louisiana cat
tie at that market have almost dou-
bled during this period.

with the shortage of cows for breed

been sent from these states to Texas,
Oklahoma and Kansas and some OF
them are said to have been shipped

cattle unloaded at one time in Biz

and Florida are sending out thousands
of these native southern cattle at the
present time at prices ranging from
SIS to S23 head for mature animals
"A shipment of 40 carloads of cattle
was recently made from Osceols
