The general sheep market this
week is quoted about steady. Both
the auctions in San Angelo received near-record runs for the
year without suffering a quotable
loss in price levels, apd country
trading seems mostly steady aJ..,o .
Some observers described t h e
West Texas ranf!'e market as perhap~ a shade easier on heavit·r
mutton Jambs, but steady and ac
tive on the lighter kinds at around
30 cents with a few sales unev<'nly lower at 29~.
Ewe Jambs continue in strong
ciemand at 34 and 35 cents in
this section. California and Northwestern buyers are reported t:>
have bought several thousand in
the Trans-Pecos area at thosl!
prices in the last few days. Y ca1
ling ewes here are quoted at $27
to $28 for the better kinds, though
some ~rowers are holding for $30.
Good solid mouth ewes are in
smaller supply and demand i:::
11trong at $14 to $18. Younge•·
ewes of good quality are bringinl!
$26 to $30, packer ewes around
$9 to $10 across the scales.
In New Mexico, relatively littk
trading was reported this weelt.
R a y White, representing t h e
Ogden Producers Association, i><
understood to have bought a couple
of thousand mixed Jambs arountl
Roswell this week at 33 cents, including some from Syl Johnson,
Jr., and the Coates and Sutherland lambs. Many growers refused
this offer. Some deals on yearlin;.:
ewes were reported pending il1
the eastern part of the state at
around $32.50 per head, the~c
ewes described as whitefaces aver
aging close to 100 pounds. Yearling ewes in the Northwest an·
selling at $35 to $40 or more per
head, with whitefaces commanding top prices.
Apparently the sheep industry
is confident that a better wool
market will develop. Despite the
utter lack of any wool activit~·
and steadily weakening future
quotations, greatest dernand anrl
highest prices this fall have been
for whiteface, fine wool breeding

tracted at the $1 figure in June
at Sanderson. Jack Richardson,
Uvalde warehouseman, . reported
there would be a fair clip in that
area, though it would be some
short of last year. Shearing has
only recently begun in the Ozona
area, and not so much fall wool
is expected to come from there.
At Sonora, Fred Earwood went
along with the lighter clip estimates.
There has been a recent flurry
of activity in mohair, with reports confirmed that some ha<>
brought 80 cents on adult and
$1.05 on kid hair, net to the growcr. One warehouseman said he
had heard that offers on kid hair
had been as high as $1.10 in one
instance, though he knew of none

Some say it will be the shortc.;t
clip in. several years. The kid crup
was small, and high prices on
goats (as high as 20 cents per
pound on muttons) has reduced
the source of supply. There were
no reliable estimates as to the
amount of the entire Texas clip,
~hough all generallr agreed that

though Schreiner Wool and Mohair·
Company at Kerrville confirmed
the sale of around 50,000 pounds
at 80 cents and $1.05.
Reports of government usc of
~;ynthetic fibres continue to emannte from Washington. From the
Wall Street Journal comes the
fo1Jo,vin~ report:
"Synthetic fibre u s e by the
Armed Forces grows despite
howls of wool men. The Quartermaster Corps will receive delivery
of 5.500,000 yards of wool-nylon
clothing fabric in November. The
Army also authorized use of synthetic fibres in officers dress
summer uniforms. Last week the
Marine Corps ignored a critical
blast from the Wool Bureau and
confirmed an order for 500,00'J
tronical weight rayon-nylon-m•>hair uniforms."
"But Ialit week the office of
defense mobilization shelved applications for quick tax write-offs on

week:; and in the ensuing dependable trade all classes and grades
including stock cattle and vealenl
closed unevenly s tea d y to 50

bulls and stock cattle showed most
advance. Partly as a result of
the high percentage of choice and
prime beeves, last week's average

high record but beat the 1948
peak by only two cents.

S. J. Embry has built a fine
ranch, stocked it with good
cattle and looks with favor
upon the world.
EMBRY HAS FED PURINA EVERY WINTER FOR 16 YEARS
"As a matter of fact," says S. J ., "I believe we were the first folks
around Saint Jo to feed Purina." When good cattlemen like S. J.
Embry stick to Purina Range Checkers a long time there must be
a reason. They've found the VARIETY of p·otein, the carbohydrates,
minerals and vitamins help keep their cows conditioned for big
calf crops, easy calving, lots of milk for heavy calves in the fall .
There are a lot of reasons why outstanding cattlemen feed Purina.
Why not drop in and see your Purina Dealer the next time you're
in town? Look for the Store with the Checkerboard Sign.

jumped to a total of 9,454 head
at the Amarillo Livestock Auction
last week, the market remained
largely steady throughout the
week. Stockers and feeders tended
weak to lower, particularly on
plain kinds, at the end of the
week.
Eddie Johnson, co-owner of the
sale firm, said the expanded runs
resulted from a number of factors,
including continued movement of
cattle from 5ome dry areas of
Texas and New Mexico, and the
normal marketing of summered I
cattle from Panhandle pastures.
Sustaining influences in the market included buying competition
from large numbers of Corn BC'lt
and West Coast {(>eders a nd the
improved prospects of winter
whe3t past ures.
Slaughter steers brought $30 to
$34 throughout the week, with
bull!; around $25 to $28, fat cows
$21-25, heiferettes $25-28, canners
and cutters $15 to $21.
Light native steer calves sold
$35 to $40, heavier kinds scaling
