Alpine Man Loses In Effort To Beat Old Man
Charles Harmon failed to outpace Old Man in a late night accident near Alpine while returning from Pecos with a loaded oil truck. He had worked ten hours cleaning streets, then fell asleep at the wheel causing the crash that damaged the truck and left him with cuts and scratches. Texas farmers expect higher winter feeding of cattle and sheep, with 4.94 million cattle and calves and 362,680 lambs on feed across 150 counties, led by Northwest. Grain and drought conditions threaten feed stocks, though aid from regional loans supports feeders amid high costs.
