Cattle Sales Improved
By Orderly Marketing
Orderly marketing as advocated by
the Oregon Cattlemen's association
has been operated on the Portland
market for a number of years and
cattle receipts at the stockyards have
been more orderly than before, says
H. A. Lingren, livestock fieldman of
the state college. Along with this
was less fluctuation in prices last
fall than for the last three years.
"The system as planned is com
mendable and deserves the support
of every cattle producer and shipper
in Oregon," says Mr. Lingren. "To
sell cattle, as any other commodity,
it is wise to know how many will be
needed on the market on any given
day, then attempt to ship in just the
number needed. There must be co
operation by all if the system con
tinues to function.
"When a cattleman is out of feed
and his stuff is ready to go there is
but one thing for him to do, and that
is to sell. But if there is a prospect
of a crowded market and the shipper
is in a position to hold, he saves
money not only for himself but for
his neighbors, by holding.
"The plan is well understood by
most of the catltemen, but for others
who do not understand, it is here
given. An office is maintained at
the central plant of the stockyards to
collect information as to what each
buyer will need one week in advance.
Information is also obtained from the
shippers on what they have ready and
intend to ship on that day. If more
cattle are coming in than the market
needs the shipper is so advised.
"This briefly is the plan of opera
tion. It is sponsored by the Oregon
Cattlemen's association and is well
worthy the consideration of every
cattle man as it means much to the
success of the business in the future."
