Mrs Skubal Travels to Alliance Nebraska Cattle Sale

Mrs Edgar Whetstine and I joined our husbands on a trip to Alliance Nebraska for a cattle sale. We drove 650 miles in a long journey through sandhills and towns, arriving 7 30 pm local time. The sale featured 2318 yearlings from the Peterson brothers' ranches, with prices from 23.30 to 26.40 per cwt and buyers from several states. We observed ranch life, clothing, and the western hospitality as the party toured the area and returned home amid wind and light snow.
