A PLAIN STEER Is A
PLAIN STEER ALWAYS

(By C. d. Lowe, Live Stock Specialist,
Division OF Extension, University OF
Tennessee.)
We often hear men complain be-
cause some cattle buyer will not pay
them the top of the market for their
steers.
Many times the reason Is because
their steers are not top steers. Some
times, on account of price differences
or other things, it pays to feed or
Craze plain cattle, and many poorly
bred animal is improved great deal
by the addition Of flesh. 1t is well to
remember, however, that flesh Will
never make a good steer of one that
lacks quality by Inheritance.
1t matters little in what condition
a well-bred, typey steer Is presented
to the buying public, for he will find a
good market at most any time, thin or
fat, for the feed-lot, pasture or the
block. On the other hand, the scrub
must always be a cheap one, no mat
ter what his condition.
