Wyoming Stockgrowers Elect New Officers and Back Big Five Packers

The Wyoming Stockgrowers Association closed its 24th annual convention with elections, venue choice, and new resolutions. Officers named were J. C. Underwood president, T. D. O’Neil vice president, William C. Irvine treasurer, and Miss Alice Smith secretary. Lusk won the 1921 meeting, replacing Buffalo after a vote. A stormy plank endorsed the Big Five packers against an injunction and urged Congress to enact the new consolidated bill with enforcement. Other measures praised outgoing officials, supported drought relief loans, condemned the railroad strike, and urged selling surplus frozen meats to foreign governments to depress domestic livestock prices. The group toured the Wyoming Hereford Corporation ranch, then resumed discussions amid robust debate over the packer bill.
