BIG RANCHES ARE PASSING
a Certainty Of High Prices
for Beef Cattle.

The cattle countries of the great
northwest are undergoing tremen-
dous change. according to Fisher b.
Weaver Of Wolf, Wyo., owner Of a
large ranch In that section. Prices Of
beef are bound to go up even more,
and 1t is very unlikely that they will
ever again return to prewar figures
Ia cattle raising, according to Mr..
Weaver, says the New York Times.
The big ranches are passing" he
said. "The average ranch now will
not run more than 700 head of cattle,
az against many thousands In the old
days. Horses are being raised In
greater number than cattle. However,
when things get settled more beef will
be produced than ever before. but 1t
Will be fed. This beef will weigh
more and II will bring much higher
price. doubt II II will ever go any
lower again. but the quality Will be
improved.
There was day when the cattle
were driven south In the winter and
now the rancher Is limited as to area
almost entirely by the necessity OF be
ing next to federal forest reserve.
There isn't enough land on which to
run big bunch of cattle without us
