arrangements on the sale of half
his steer crop to another feeder in
the same locality.
Both groups of calves will weigh
out Cloth sold at no shrink, off the
ranch weight around 43O pounds
That brings the net return on a calf
to around $215.
The Ginther calves went to a re-

veer farms, Morrisville, Ill, who has
consistently fed out loads of steers
