GAR OF STEERS
SELL FOR $1,784.88
Moultrie, Ga.—“The best car
cittleever produced iu the South
east”, is the way expert cattle men
described a car of Herford steers
just unloaded at the stock yards
here. The cattle were bought in
Montgomery by Swift ^s: Company
and were shipped to Moultrie from
that point, but they are Southeast
Georgia steers—grown on the
Cummings farm in Seminole
county.
There were 15 steers in the car.
They weighed 13,8.10 pounds.
They averaged 18 months in age,
and their average weight is about
925 pounds. The steers sold for
12.6 cents per pound. The check
that paid for the car of 15 was for
$1,784.88, the average price being
$116.55 per head.
Live stock men here insist that
Mr. Cummings has made the finest
contribution that has yet been
made in proving the possibilities of
producing cattle of the better sort
at a profit in this region. The
steers making up the car were
raised on grass and in the bean
fields. They were finished for
three months in a dry lot, hut
never in their lives have they beeu
fed on “bought feed.”
A more interesting feature of
mt, is the tact that the steers are
only seven eights llerfords. aud
that they were developed from the
cross breeding of pure bred Her
ford bulls with native piney woods
cows.
The steers were shown at the fat
stock show at Montgomery aud
won the first prize. The judges
at the show were Nashville and
Lexington cattlemen and they de
dared the prize winners “com¬
pared favorably with prime West
ern cattle offered on Western
markets.” It was the opinion of
these cattlemen that these steers
might have been heavier and of
better finish if they had been fed
longer and on heavier feed.

cent a pound over prices paid to
