Livestock Prices Rise Amid Mixed 1935 Yearend Outlook
In a yearend livestock overview, McNaughton notes 1935 recovered from 1934 drought with improved feed and ranges. Prices surged, especially hogs, while cattle and lamb prices rose. California grain cattle benefited from spring sales. Despite peaks, consumer resistance and injections tempered gains. Prospects for 1936 look hopeful with steady demand and non excess supplies. Local notes report visitors Mrs. Carl Knoll and Mr. Fred B. Pilling in Dillon.
