C. J. Millls Ably Portrays the Present
Situation Actual Figures From
Umatilla County Feeders 800,000
Head of Cattle In Oregon.
The cattle situation In Oregon Is
summed up briefly and comprehen
sively by C. J. Millls, livestock agent
of the O. R. & N. In discussing the
Industry. Mi. Millls says:
"Our population Is rapidly Increas
ing and open ranges Is rapidly de
creasing. With prosperous times our
people consume more meat, while our
ability to provide does not keep pace
with the Increased demand; hence it
is that young cattle have so advanced
In price as seriously to restrict the
movement of rough or unfinished stuff
to other ranges. !
This home maturing has taken firm
hold, and our dealers, not content
or satisfied with local transactions.
are reaching out to supply the world
beyond, and already our export trade i
is becoming a powerful factor In the !
question of supplying the nations.
ith the advent of increased packing
facilities, which are sure to com
tins coast will treat all Its meat pro
ducts. In fact, a fair proportion of
our stock trains are even now headed
west. Instead of east, as formerly.
"An Illustration of the very favor
able results to be obtained In thi
new enterprise is noted In the case
of a prominent feeder on Butter
Creek, Umatilla county, who cut COO
tons of hay from 125 acres of alfalfa,
and fed it to 300 2-year-old steers
Inst winter.
"When he commenced feeding, Sep
tember 22, these steers averaged 1054
pounds each, cost $3.50 per hundred
weight, and consumed two tons o
hay worth making a total of $13.S0
per head. Two carloads sold January
for $4.50 per hundredweight, and
averaged 1232 pounds (A gain of ITS
pounds), bunging $55.41 per head,
net profit of $11.65 on each animal.
"ll tne haiance of this lot did as
well, the transaction netted the feed
ei $34fia over the selling price of
these same cattle on the range,
which In Itself carries a very hand
some profit to the grower. This
not by any means an exceptional case
so tar as general conditions are con
cerned. and any fairly well-located
level-headed, energetic Oregon farm
er can, if he will, enjoy a similar ex
perience, handling either cattle or
sheep or hogs, with assurance of sue
cess.
'Notwithstanding the heavy de
mand for these finished products, our
lunges still furnish a large movement
of choice young cattle for the North
and East, moving in train lots, aggre
gating many hundred cars per annum
Range prices this year averaged $20
lot yearlings and $28 for 2-year-olds
