Paraguay Senator Seeks Texas Rodeo and Cattle Trade Boost
Paraguayan Senor Quevedo, in Washington, aims to study Texas cattle operations and hopes to see a real Texas rodeo. He plans to return home to discuss cattle feeding, management, and postwar meat exports with Paraguayan groups as wartime shipping limits ease. He believes a larger cattle trade with the United States will follow normal shipping conditions.
