RANGE Cattle
WILL BE LESS
Feeding Conditions In Ida
no And Other Western
States Reported
Good

The department of agriculture es
timated that 25O,OOO fewer cattle
will be marketed from the range
country this fall than last fall will
the principal reduction in the south
west. The number for market i:
placed at 4,O77,OOO head, compared
with 4,S22,OOO last fall and 4,2O5,-
600 in the fall of 1928.
The movement from the southwest
is estimated at 1,S47,OOO head, com
pared to 2,117,OOO in 1924, and q
O41,0OO in 1928. Because of dry
weather movement from the south
west from January to July has been
very heavy, with a considerable ins
creases from Texas, Oklahoma mar
keted $4,000 during this time, COM
pared with 100000 in the same per-
iod in 1924. In New Mexico a rec
ord number, 254,OOO head, were
moved in the first seven months,
compared with 10000 in the same
period last year and six-year av-
erage of 10000.
Feed conditions over the range
country are generally very good ex-
cept in the southwest. All states
west Of the continental divide and
Wyoming have much better fed and
hay crops than last year. In Mon
tana, Colorado, North Dakota and
the western section of South Dakota
and Nebraska the hay and feed crops
are not so heavy as last year, but
there is ample supply for range
stock.
Excellent feed supplies in Idaho,
Oregon, Washington, and Utah will
result in more cattle for market this
winter than last year, with most of
these cattle moving to coast markets.
A shorter hay and beet crop in Colo
RADIO indicates a reduction in cattle
feeding.
"a large part of the western cattle
move through the markets to feed
ers in the corn belt and the demand
for stocker and feeder cattle in the
corn belt this fall will be an import
ant factor in the marketing of west
ern cattle. The August forecast of
the corn crop indicated about 5OO,-
100000 bushels more than last year
and the supply of hogs in the belt is
the smallest in several years, so the
for corn for hogs will be cor
light.
early indications are that the
feeder cattle demand will be strong.
During July prices on feeders and
stocker steers shipped from Chicago
were higher than during July, 1924.
Recent sales of heavy, well-fnished
cattle have shown top prices"
