QUICK PROFIT
Spring Cattle Carrying An opportunity is seen for farmers with sub. clover pastures to make a modest quick profit from cattle. The suggestion is this: In August purchase fairly low conditioned and cheap cattle but of good type. Hold till late October and then sell out all or most of them at the season’s market peak. It is a case of buy low and sell high, with little gamble attached to the operation. The opportunity is furnished by the early growing character of sub. clover, which really comes away about two months ahead of the hill country. On no account should this cattle proposition
lead to doing the ewes badly. They must come first at all times.
But, broadly epeaking, cattle brought on to the sub. late in August should be for two or three months without harm. And they are usually obtainable then without paying the big prices rilling in October-November. At the selling time do not hold on too long. These pastures go off by Christmas. Better sell while demand is still strong.
