Folks, the All club and Future
Farmers sale at the fair grounds
Saturday was, in my opinion, the
second best sale they have ever had
at the fair And I believe I am
in a very good position to know
as I have sold all the sales
Safeway stores bought the Grand
Champion for 81 cents per pound
which was 10 cents per pound over
the market. Ritters shop at CaleX-
leo bought the grand champion
heifer for 19 cents per pound, II
cents above market price. The en-
tire sale of ribbon winners aver
aged a fraction over II cents pei
lb. Safeway stores bought "a head
Cox Bros, 4 head, Pacific Land
and Cattle CO.. head, McNeece
and McNeece one. Earl Ritter one
Webb's Grocery, Holtville one. Coy
Ritter bought a few for the other
shops in the valley.
The FL Paso sale, just held, top
steer was 36 cents Per pound, next
highest was 1872 cents per pound
they beat us on Grand Champion
steer 9 cents per pound, but we
beat 'em bad on the reserve cham
pions and first prize steers, and
heifers.
Some of the boys felt little bad
They expected last years prices
The trouble was this, boys. you
bought your 1886 feeders on a low
feeder market and sold on high
beef market. This year you Just
had the reverse. bought on high
feeder market and sold on a low
beef market. But don't worry, boys
most of the wise cattlemen got
caught in the same trap this year
Just one of the breaks in the cattle
game. III be seem you.
