One day last week l attended a
big stock sale down near Leon, but
bought nothing. Stock went up too
high for me to see any investment in
it. When it comes to selling eight
month old steer calves for $40 per
head ] can't quite figure out where
cheaper meat is to be had. Within
the past seven years I have bought
two-year-old steers, ready to go into
the feed yard, for $40 per head. Even
then there is hazard in feeding out
but when it comes to paying $40 per
head for calves and then wait for
them to grow up to the value, it takes
more science than care to risk, says
Geo. Williamson in the Charlton
Leader.
