Frank D. Tomson notes March 1917 price comparisons between two Nebraska farms. One sold 24 grade cattle for 2195 including a high selling Short Horn bull at 221, while another top eight registered Shorthorns brought 2165, $30 less but with younger stock. Despite higher public auction prices, registered cattle show clear advantages in cost efficiency and breeding potential, with demand for registered Shorthorns rising.
