Beefmen Drive Cattle To Butz Amid Beef Price Protest
Western stockmen completed a 2000 mile trek from the Dakotas and Montana driving 47 cattle to a temporary corral on the Mall opposite the Agriculture Department to press Secretary Earl Butz about rising costs. The group aimed to present 10 steers but was declined by law. They called the gesture a success and planned distributing twenty steers to needy families.
