"I am going to sell my steers in
the Stacker and Feeder Sale,"
said John Howell of East Fork
-omni unity of Madison County.
"For 13 steers I received an av
erage of $19.57 per hundred which

pounds." Judging from prices re
eived on last year's open market
John felt that he had received a
premium of two to three cents
per pound on the steers he con
signed. The steers were graded
and sold according to weight and
grade. John had six steers which
graded choice, six that graded
good and one medium steer.
John stated he felt sure that
any farmer who wishes to obtain
top prices for his steers should
consign and to show that he has
confidence he has Already con
signed 10 steers.
The Stacker and Feeder sale
fer yearling and two year old
steers will be held at the Ashe-'
ville Livestock Market September
26. 1956.
This sale is a joint venture of
the North Carolina Department of
Agriculture and The North Caro
lina Extension Service. All cat

farmers who are interested in con
signing cattle may do so by con
