NEW WORLD RECORD
FOR RANGE CATTLE
Cii r .
Special to Alliance Herald:
Union Stock Yards, South Omaha,
August 20, 19l2.-Twenty.one head
of XX'yoming grass steers, averaging
1715 lbs., brought $9.50 per cwt. on
the Omaha market today, one steer
weighing 2290 lbs. at $10.00 per cwt.
In both instances prices highest ever
paid for range steers on any market
and probably never before exceeded,
Chlcago"s record being $9.05. Steers
were horned and branded, mixed
Hereford and Shorthorns, bred and
ranged in Carbon county, XVyoming,
by the owner, XX'. A. XX'eaver, of Al
cova. They were driven 50 miles to
loading point and carried in cars a
distance of nearly a thousand miles
and still good enough to average at
Omaha $16.00 to the animal and es
tablish a world record.
