Market Is Bad Strike Hurts Oregon Cattle Industry
Market conditions in Oregon are uncertain due to strikes in Chicago affecting cattle shipments. Cattle movements to Chicago are light as buyers wait for price clarity, while the home market remains strong but not enough to absorb all stock. C.J. Millis of the O.R.&N. predicts changes soon and cites Crook County range war tensions as serious. Sheep losses from recent market shifts and the Bureau of Animal Industry dipping ruling impact the market, though modifications may improve new shipments. The Dalles land office orders restrict entry of townships in Morrow County for a Buttercreek irrigation reservoir site, with engineers awaiting surveys.
