Local Cattle
Prices Hold Up
HERMISTON Sam Turner of
Heppner topped the market at the
ilermiston livestock auction Fri
day with 9 heavy feeder steers
welshing 7955 lbs., and selling
for S19.C0 cwt., Delbert Anson,
manager of the sale, reports.
Prices were generally steady
despite general break in the live- j
stock market since late last week. J
Main reason for the break was
oversupply of cattle consigned
due to shortage of grass, particu
larly in the midwestern drought
areas, combined with hot-weather
drop in consumer demand for
meat.
Volume of cattle consigned was
down somewhat, 380 compared
with 405 the previous Friday, a
normal summer decline as farm
ers were busy with haying and
pea harvesting and preparations
for barley harvesting.
Also consigned were 48 hogs
compared with 105 and 38 sheep
compared with 05, both insufi
cient to establish market trend.
Demand was broad and active
(tn the part of. many buyers, both
Oregon and Washington packers
and feeders, and Twin Falls, Ida
ho, feedlot buyer took two car
loads of yearling steers. Area
farmer buyers were also active,
E. L. Croslicns of Heppner buying
22 cows and 22 calves. Grain-fed
heifers and steers continue In de
mand, and stocker and feeder
steers, as well as fat hogs In the
lull between the fat and spring
hog season. Cattle quality was
generally good.

June Rainfall Hits
Total of 2.74 Inches
The past month of June wound
up weather-wise as one of the
wettest Junes In recent years with
Leonard Gilliam, Heppner wea
ther observer recording 2.74 inches
of rain during the month. It was
nearly double the 1.61 inches that
fell in June 1953.
Heppner received more than
most other sections of the county,
though nearly every section got
ample fall during the month.
In the Gooseberry section, Leon
ard Carlson reported 1.80 inches
for the month and some of the
northern sections of the county
reported about the same amount
or slightly more.
Most wheat and barley ranch
ers were well satisfied with the
moisture now in the ground and
expressed a desire to see a little
more warm growing weather,
though the warm weather last
week has brought on the crop
quite rapidly.
