CATTLE IN
LOCAL PENS

The feeding in the Chickasha feed
pens has yet more than a month be-
fore thousands Of cattle there will be
shipped and the pens vacated for the
summer. Usually the last punches are
shipped out in May and the first some
time in December.
At the present time there are about
5000 cattle in the pens on full feed.
They constitute the second strings
that have been fed in the Chickasha
pens this winter The first were ship
ped in early in the fall, fed from 60
to 90 days and shipped. The rainy
weather toward the middle of the win
ter caused the feeders to hurry their
first shipments to some extent. The
season opened with exceptionally dry,
made-toDrder weather for the cattle
feeder but the latter part Of the first
feed the rain and snow turned the
acres OF pens into a yeritable mud
bog.
When the weather had cleared up a
bit and the pens were again dry, the
shipments started again and within
a short time the pens we're again filled
with cattle. AT this time the weather
is exceedingly unfavorable to the bus
mess Of fattening cattle. and the pens
are again muddy. The feeders are,
however, making the best OF the situa-
tion and win continue to feed through
this month and probably through
April Heavy shipments will doubt

Of May Including the cattle that have
already beersfed, fattened and shipped
