Cattle Crossings from Mexico Rise at Douglas Port
Over two weeks several thousand Mexican cattle have crossed at Douglas, now in nearby pastures awaiting buyers. Cliff Robertson bought 1290 head ten days ago, the Gabaldons brought 1500 yesterday, Stewart Hunt crossed 800, and smaller lots followed. Buyer demand is weak due to northern grass shortages, though Sulphur Springs valley has grass but limited water. About 15,000 head may remain to be sold when market improves.
