Nevada Sheep Men Win Big Rate Decrease
The Interstate Commerce Commission ruled Southern Pacific tariffs for sheep in double deck cars are unreasonable, setting a reasonable rate at 170 percent of the single deck. Nevada shippers expect about 15 percent savings on Chicago-bound livestock due to fewer deaths in better car conditions. The Nevada Cattle Owners Association notes double deck deaths reach 30 to 40 per trip versus 2 or 3 in single deck cars.
