by( J. M. , Cook of the , Great Western
Commission company, at $10.00 per hun
dred, or 35 cents a hundred more than
the previous top price.
The' record herd waa made up of high
grade Durhams and has -been on full
pasture for the last ten months. They
tip' jed the scales as three and four-year-olds
at an average of 1,569 pounds each,
costing the packing company $156.90 a
head or a total of $7,217 for the forty-six.
Thorman Is a recognized premier cat
tle raiser thoughout the ., state and his
shipments are always eagerly antici
pated by South Omaha buyers. The
