Eighty-eight New Mexico steers sold in
Kansas City on Monday at $1.80 per hundred,
and averaged 803 pounds. If any stock grower
can figure out a profit in raising steers for such
money he can make figures lie. Scrub stock
will no longer pay, as feeders testfy by the
prices they offer that they have not found them
profitable, and the returns from scrubs shipped
to the markets show that no one but the canners
want them, and they are in position to make
their prices, having no competition. Range men
may argue that pure bred and high grade bulls
will do no service on the range, and if it is a
fact they might as well quit the business, as it
is certain no money can be made raising scrubs.
