W. C. Schultz Of Audrain county,
Mo-, had on the st. Louis market a
two-car consignment Of yearling
steers on the market Wednesday,
March 29th. Mr.. Schultz is n Of
the good sheep feeders Of Central
Missouri and he does not specialize in
cattle feeding like he does with the
former. In fact, he remarked that
although the cattle have done good
in weight and made him some money
that he would have a whole lot pre-
ferred having the same money tied up
in what he calls-real money makers,
sheep.-Live Stock Reporter.
