10 Percent More
Cattle In
Coast Feedlots

LOS ANGELES UNION STOCK
YARDS, Nov. 19-There are now
about 10 percent more cattle in
feedlots in Southern California than
a year ago, indicating that cattle
feeders have gained more conf
dence in the future of the cattle
market.
Increased cattle feeding is also re-
ported in the middle west, where
the movement of feeders into the
Corn Belt states is reported to be
considerably larger than last year.
However, cattle feeders are still
hesitant about making their deciS-
ions and it is a fact that cattle are
being fed for much shorter periods
than normally.
Many of the "short fed" cattle
that are being marketed on the
Coast markets have been fed only
40 to so days against normal feed
ing periods of Is to 120 days.
The cattle market continues on a
firm basis with demand active for
the better grades of COWS, heifers
and steers.

of and they have the best food that
money can buy. They are gaining
weight, and going about their tasks,
as it seems to- be fun. I wish I

how they love to fire their rifles.
My time is up here in this camp
