The first shipment of the year and
the only lambs on the market We'd
nesday, January 11th, in East St.
Louis to realize the good price of
$3.50 per cwt, was represented in the
transaction Of two double decks of
fed Western lambs totaling $40 head
that averaged 7 Obs. This is the
highest price locally since last June.
The signal honor of making the first
worthwhile sheep record of the year
fell to the honor of a hustling young
Missourian, Grover G.. Sims of Aud
rain county. The shipment was a nice
band of stuff and a credit to the owner
who was much pleased at the long
price his lambs brought. Mr.. Sims is
deserving Of the reputation he bears
as a good sheep feeder and through
close personal attention to the feeding
with the desire to produce desirable
sheep and lambs for the block has he
attained this enviable position. Not
only is the sheep game given his at
tention, but his well improved farm is
the source Of many a load of good kill
ing cattle and as we'll maturing and
feeding mules for the market has been
given close attention by him.-Live
