Cattle Prices Signal Prosperity Return for Breeders
Kansas City January 17 AP A strong turn in cattle markets shows prosperity returning for breeders on the high peace time price rise. William L Masche of Staffordville Kansas sold 86 head averaging 1401 pounds at 18 25 a hundred weight, a Kansas City record except during the war. Earlier, 85 head of prime fed steers from B H Cornelius Wichita were sold at 16 a hundred pounds reflecting rising demand for heavy stock. The shortage of top quality cattle and shift to prime fed heavies boost profits for breeders feeding this class.
