of 10000 head.
The supply Of western sheep and
yearlings yesterday ran largely to
feeders, altho some stock bought by
packers was hardly better than feed
ers. A load of fair quality Montana
range yearlngs sold at $11.o0 and some
fair neshed yearling weathers on the
feeder order sold to packers at $1,000.
Aged Montana weathers went at $10.75
and some fairly good Montana aged
ewes sold at $3.50, with culls at $500
CPS. A five-car shipment of good Mon
tana yearling breeding ewes went at
1880 and some less desirable 75-lb.
yearling breeding ewes brought $1275.
A sort from the $3.50 Montana breed
ers sold at $1,000. For the week values
for aged western range sheep and
yearlings are regarded strong to 25c
higher. Receipts Of aged stock have
been very very moderate and the de-
mand has been excellent all week,
both for feeders and killing stock.
Shipments Of thin Montana wethers
sold at $500 on both Tuesday and
Wednesday. Traders are quoting prime
range ewes for killing purposes at
$9.50@9.75; wethers at $10.00@11.00;
yearlings at $1O.50@12.00, band of
1.4oo selling at the latter price Tues
