Show The Country Genlltman reports recent re-cent western eales of short horn cattle, comprising 1,3-17 bead, which averaged aver-aged $3S2 per head, making a tntal of 014,835. It costs but little more to raise short horns than cattle of common breeds, while the former command four or five times the price of common cattle. Within a few years some attention bas been paid in Utah to the breeding of abort horn and graded stocks, and the profits on the improved cattle ol those who have given somo time and attention to their breeding have been consider able. The fact that such prices are paid year after year for short horn stock in largo Dumbers shows that there i3 something in them for the purchaser as well as the breeder besides be-sides a mere fancy. |
