PLAN No. 617. BEEF CATTLE IN FERRY COUNTY, WASHINGTON

This farmer gives his experience as follows:

“According to my experience here in Ferry County, a herd of cattle doubles in three years, aside from keeping themselves. There is always a cash market at your door for anything you have to sell. I have 1,100 acres of land and keep about 100 head of stock through the winter; raise considerable small grain and feed up all my straw as well as what hay is necessary. I now have a nice start in pure bred Short Horn Durhams of milk strain, which gives me good milkers as well as big steers.”
