S.V CATTLE PRICES IN THIS STATE LOWEST IN UNITED STATES By K. H. Williams Animal Husbandman, Unirefsily of Arizona, College of Agriculture, Tucson, Ariz. The Union Stockyards at Los An- I geles are being watched by both the I stockmen and packers with much in terest. The stockmen are anxious to | know whether prices will be satis | factory for all animals they have for sale. On the other hand, the packers also want to know if they can depend upon the local stockyards for the ani mals they require. A representative of one of the snialler packers in southern California gave me the fol lowing idea last week: “I have been buying cattle in Ari zona for twenty years, and am inter ested in the Union Stockyards. If our company can buy to as good advan tage at home we will have less ex pense and will certainly patronize the stockyards. All the butchers are waif ing to see what the outcome of the ! yards will be. There are about a j dozen of us Emyers from Southern California who need not go to the ex pense and effort of buying cattle in the field if a sufficient volume and variety of stock can be secured in the yards. As yet we are afraid to de pend upon the receipts in the Union Stockyards for our supplies.” The livestock interests in Arizona have suffered from inferior market conditions. Situated at such a dis tance from market centers it is dif ficult for the stockmen to keep in formed regarding values of their ani mals. Many have suffered losses from j marketing their own stock because they not secured sufficient informa tion regarding the markets ( and they sold to local dealers. The educational value of marketing animals has there fore been lost to Arizona stockmen. Arizona Gets Lowest Prices During the past eight years the low est prices for cattle in the entire United States were paid Arizona stockmen. No doubt the lack or mar ket facilities contributed directly to keeping the prices down. A greater ' factor, however, was the difficulty of j selling Arizona cattle on their merits, j Most of the cattle from Arizona ranges | went into dealers’ hands? rather than | directly to maturing ranges or feed i lots. The best of the animals lost j their identity as soon as they left their ; own ranges, but inferior cattle from i anywhere in the southwest or the range country were always called “Arizonas” in trade parlance. Some of the best cattle produced on ranges anywhere come from Arizona but these animals do not sell at their full ■ value unless their owners have ere-! ated a specia lmarket for them. The opening of a public market in | Los Angeles will be a boon to the j livestock business in -Arizona. Os re- i cent years California has been our best market for both cattle and sheep. Up to the present it has been difficult to induce buyers for coast packers to bid on small bunches of stock. The Union Stockyards market, however, will enable the stockmen to ship his own animals and make a clearance of them in short order. The marketing of livestock is in a very chaotic condition in Arizona. The cattlement did not have an opportun ity to study the grading and classifi cation of animals as handled in all large markets. As a result it was ex tremely difficult for buyers to bid on mixed or ungraded lots. No definite standards have been established for range animals, so buying and selling have been conducted on a hit and miss basis. The stockmen did little more than go to town and make in quires as to whether there were any cattle buyers in town. Many an Ari zona cattleman has pranced up and down the main street repeating the question, “Have you seen any cattle buyers?” I have 1500 yearlings round ed up ready to sell, but I don’t know of any buyers.” This is neither a dignified nor edifying position for a stockman to take who has large in terests. Should Improve Quality The Union Stockyards market should do more than any other one agent to bring about improvement inc the quality of animals in the South west. It will be the clearing house for the industry. A market should be available for every thing in the way of livestock, and values be based on their merit. The lesson will strike home to the stockmen if they see ani mals with uniformly or improved breeding bringing more money than their own. Arizona stockmen would do well to begin at once to make use ofthe Un ion Stockyards. They should first get in touch with local commission firms, or somebody they can trust, and as certain the prices for the various classes and grades they have for sale. If the price seems favorable, a trial shipment should be ventured and tht owner should go with the stock to market. While there the various com mission firms may be investigated and i better contact made with them. A good will keep the stockman informed regarding the demand andp rices for the kind of animals being produced. The whole system of buying and selling animals is not satisfactory. Arizona stockmen must have a public market where animals can be shipped at any time. In the past, cattle have ben marketed in the spring and fall after being contracted months ahead of delivery, but this is not a model way to to handle livestock. What op portunity has a stockman, with a band or sheep or cattle oleated eighty miles from town to compete with the deal ers who make a specialty of buying when prices are low and selling after a rise in price? Some so-called com mission firms and dealers have been buying cattle in Arizona without put tinb up any forefit money. Recently a man claiming to represent a Calif ornia commission company bought John Neal’s steers and cows. The steers were gathered and shipped to stockmen in the Imperial Valley. Later the two hundred cows con tracted for were gathered and driven fifty miles to the shipping point at Hillside. After being there two days, the buyer showed up and stated that he could not take the cows because Ihe had no place to put them. On in vestigation it was found that the buy er was not good for damages, and there was nothing to do but trail the cow's back to the home ranch. Value in Educational Feature Stockmen should welcome the op portunity to market their own stock. Even if they do not receive one cent more from the sales, the broader scope they will gain of the entire operation will be a distinct asset. The educa tional feature associated with the Un ion Stockyards will go a long way towards placing the business on a more secure basis. Some special care must be taken to 1 regulate the receipts of the various kinds of animals at the stockyards so that the right kind and number of ! stock may be marketed every day in | the year. Stockmen are not slow to j forget having run into aglut in the I maiket, and this should be avoided, j If the Union Stockyards in Los An | geles are conducted in an open, fair way, they will be a success. We are j all hoping that the market there will ! help to correct some of the difficulties now experienced in marketing our stock, and at the same time supply a 1 > earlong market and higher and more j stationary prices. This is my own personal opinion of j . the possibilities of the Union Stock-! yards in Los Angeles. I am very j . much in favor of the institution and hope it wdll function.
