FORT WORTH, Tex — Kill those
grubs in your cattle and calves
backs and it makes the stock worth
from 50 cents to $1.50 per hundred
MORE!
While this weekly column is pri-
marily a market report, we feel
that a few lines about cattle grubs
(or wolves, or ox warbles) can be
the best advice to pass along to
you.
There are a number of good
remedies on the market which your
vetinary or vetinary supply house
can sell you. Or, your county agent
can give you a formula for home
mixing. (Some companies put it
up in aerosol bomb-type contain-
ers).
The grubs damage the hides, but
worst of all they damage the loin,
the highest priced part of the ani-
mal. These grubs can be eliminat-
ed at small cost by starting ten
days or two weeks before selling
time.
Don't forget, the buyers take off
from 50 cents to $1.50 per hun-
dred depending on the amount of
infection. This can mean as much
as $4 to 56 per head on a 400-lb.
calf.
Cattle runs were much lighter
all over the nation Monday. While
some buyers came out Monday
with lower bids, they soon changed
their tune and prices were steady
to strong on cattle and calves.
Cows were strong to 50 cents high-
er. Some stockers were unevenly
higher, with light stock calves to
$20 again.
Good and choice fed steers and
yearlings drew $17 to $23, two
loads of 1238-lb. steers from Okla-
homa County, Okla., at $23. Late
last week a load of 1005-lb. steers
topped at $26.50 at Fort Worth,
the highest prices of the year here.
Common and medium grassy
steers and yearlings bulked at $10
to $15.50 and some rannihans sold
from $8 to $10.
Fat cows drew $9.50 to $12,
some heiferish kinds to $12.50 and
above. Canners and cutters drew
$7 to $9.50 and some higher. A
few cows sell under $7, but they
usually are emaciated or have a
blemish which may result in their
condemnation. Bulls drew $8 to
$12.50.
Good and choice fat calves clear-
ed at $13.50 to $18.25 and some
heavies of 600 to 750 pounds drew
$8 to $20. Some of these big choice
creepfed calves that weighs around
700 pounds are really calves for
age, but due to weights sell at
yearling beef prices. An example
was the $21.50 heavy calves of bet-
ter than 700 pounds sold at Fort
Worth recently that were shipped
by Judge F. W. Fischer of Dallas,
and which came from his Cooke
County feedlots. These calves sold
for $21.50 and were really yearling
weights, but shy a year old.
Common and medium slaughter
calves drew $10 to $13.50 and culls
sold from $7 to $10.
Good and choice stocker calves
cashed at $14 to $18.50, with light
weights to $20. Stocker and feeder
steers and yearlings sold from $12
to $17. Some fleshy coming two-
year-old cattle at $17. Heifers and
heifer calves usually sell for stock-
ers at around $2 under comparable
steers. Stocker cows enoyjed ac-
tive demand prices of $8 to $12.50.
Hogs were on the merry-go-
round again. Butcher hogs are
worth more to the shippers and in-
dependent packers than they are
to the big packers right now as
was demonstrated by the Monday
trade at Fort Worth.
This same pattern has been oc-
curing for a long time here. Ship-
pers and small packers bought
choice butcher hogs of 190 to 250
pounds in weight at $21 to $21.50.
One major packer bought some
good hogs at $20.50, and another
major packer bid only $20.25 and
