. Annual report of the Missouri State Board of Agriculture. Missouri. State Board of Agriculture; Agriculture -- Missouri. Miscellaneous. 631. Broad-backed Missouri beeves. CATTLE. In reviewing the 1913 cattle market the Daily National Live Stock Reporter of January 1, 1914, said: All classes, from the prime and fancy heifers down to the common light kinds, were in favor with the buyers. And in the face of unprecedented market irregularities average prices soared away above the 1912 average. The year's top load of heifers brought $, and at the best time it took only a choice grade of heifers to make $9 or better. The average bulk of desirable heifers was $ to $, as compared with $ to $ in 1912. The average bulk of beef steer sales during 1913 is higher than that of 1912, this, how- ever, being in a measure accountable for by the fact that the beef steer crop in 1913 was fed on the corn yield of 1912, which was one of the largest and best quality yields ever pro- duced. The average daily beef steer top for 1913 was $, as compared with $ for 1912, but again there were fewer fancy cattle marketed here—last year, like 1912, drouth hampering the finishing of cattle which had they been fed out undoubtedly would have brought high prices. The average bulk of native beef steer sales for 1913 was $ to $, as compared with $ to $ in 1912. The Christmas cattle trade was somewhat of a disappointment, but at that the top last year was the same as 1912, viz., $10. The year just closed was the banner year for yearling steers, as a load of them brought the year's top, wliich was $, and several bunches sold at $ Heavy steers were rather unpopular throughout the year, and consequently no high prices were realized on these kinds, although 1,700 to 1,900-pound beeves brought $ to $ Best grades of beef cows throughout the year sold well above $7, and a price of $8 was the year's high mark.
