Hogs Co operative Sale Shown Successful At Cairo
The first co operative livestock sale held at Cairo in Grady county on November 27 proved a success. Hogs brought one half to one cent more per pound than local buyers offered. Plans call for a regular southern Georgia circuit as organizers from railroads, the State College of Agriculture, the U S Department and others study livestock marketing. A sales manager and bonded grader oversee sales with standard scales, a 10 cent per hundredweight fee, and monthly or more frequent sale dates as local associations form.
