Application for employment
Only a few loads of feeding nteere were
received thf* week, these being sold
promptly to farmer* for cotton need meal
and hull feeding. These same steers will
be in the yards again three to four months
later, fat. and will top our market.
Conditions were never more favorable
for farmers to feed cattle; cotton seed
meal and.hulls are selling at sacrifice
prices and fed cattle will certainly be high
next spring unless all signs fail.
Sheep and lamb receipts continue light.
