and steers like these, weighing about 650 pounds, at $25.50
and $26.75 to Smiley Triplett of Amarillo on order for Brennan Cattle Co., Kirkland, Ill. ; and some 1500 crossbred steers
expected to weigh near 750 at $23 to go to Arizona feeders.

Inspir ational Story
Of The Week
Fully steady to strong prices prevailed in the stocker and feeder cattle market throughout the Southwest this week. At some Texas
trade centers the tone was strong
to higher, influenced partly by
lighter receipts and also by the seasonal strength in demand for cattle
to go on spring grass. At Amarillo,
where receipts dropped to 5500 cattle this week, stockers and feeders
were quoted 50 cents higher than
last week's close.
Country trade reflected at least
steady levels. Good and choice light
stocker steer calves continued to
bring $30 to $34, instances more if
under 400 pounds. Light stocker
heifer calves brought $27-30, one
reputation string $31. Stocker steer
yearlings sold at $25-30.50, heifers
$23-27, and feeder steers $24-27.
Common and medium steers are
selling from $19 up.
Only occasional deals for fall delivery were uncovered. A few
strings of yearlings, expected to be
in feeder flesh aff good grass pas·
tures, have sold in the Panhandle,
New Mexico and Kansas at $23.50
to $25 on steers1 $23 on heifers.
Some heavyweignts, expected to
scale over 1000 pounds by fall,
were contracted in southwest Kansas at $23 and $23.50 this week.
Some straight heifer calves were
bought for fall in North Texas at
$27, but the contract contains a 400·
pound weight stipulation. A few
uunches of Tex.as and New Mexico
calves have sold for fall at $25 to
$28 on heifers, $28 to $30 on steers.
Good and choice cows and calves
sold at $200 to $250 per pair, a few
outstanding sets with big calves
higher, and common cows with
calves brought $160 to $175 per
pair.
The ways of honorable men

aren't often more prettily illus·

Tom Spencer, grass specialist for

USDA Decision On
Texas Cattle Brand
Inspection Delayed
WASHLl'llGTON-A hearing was
held here this week to consider
whether or not the brand inspection authority of the Texas & South·
western Cattle Raisers Assn. should
be revoked, as previously recom·
mended by a USDA examiner.
Judicial officer Th()m3s J. Flavin
will review the testimony and submit his findings to Agriculture Secretary Benson who will make the
final decision. No indication was
1given that a decision is expected
soon.
T&SCRA president Dolph Briscoe,
Uvalde, in Washington for the hearing, said: "I assume it will be
some little time" before a decision
regarding the fate of the cattle·
men's brand inspection program is
handed down.
The USDA has recommended that
the brand inspection work be dropped on the ground.s that it's doubt·
ful if br3nding of cattle in Texas
is customary. "Our position," said
Briscoe, "is that branding (){ grown
replacement catue is customary
throughout Texas." The cattlemen's
group has historically maintained
inspectors at markets to check on
the ownership of cattle. ' Mainly,
they're there t() see that cattle stol·
en from members aren't sold.

BeeF Marketing Controls Urged
As Way To Maintain High Prices
The research director feyr the
Southwest's largest group of ~
erative agricultural lending institutions has proposed control of beef
marketing by a federal commission.
This, be contends, is necessary if
cattlemen are to maintain profitable prices.
Dr. P. H. Stephens, the research
c:lire«or ()f the Fann Credit Banks
of Wichita, Kansas, bas outlined a
plan which would allot each pr~
ducer a share of the estimated

total annual demand for beef, and
control that share by issuance of
production certificates. He argues
that his plan isn't government supervision, but the "result of enabling legislation that lets the livestock industry regulates its busi·
ness."
Cattle Ru5tlers and
Market Rustlers
"Steall"iil cattle has tieen unhNithy for a long time but stNI·
ing another man's m..,ket is mere
exerciM of free enterpriw,"
wrote Stephens. "If cattlemen
want to maintain profitable
prices, they must eventually come
to some form of prorAtion of control of market supplies. Every
other large busines5 has, for its
own benefit and that of its customets, come to more or less
control."
Stephens said that while the first
reaction of most cattlemen to his
plan is that it is revolutionary,
"more and more of them are arriving at the conclusion that it is
only sound business procedure and
