Thursday, August 12, 1937 THE SENTINEL-LEADER. SPARTA, MICHIGAN

H O G S 18*c This is the dressed price farmers would have had to

have had to equal the live weight price of $13.60 which their good hogs sold for a t Sparta, Tuesday, August 10th. Good sows sold from $11.25 to $12.20 same day. Calves, cattle and lambs are all marketed by rail to Detroit or Buffalo, the highest market . Our good calves this week sold for $12.50 at Detroit and good grass heifers a t $9.50.

Buyers patronize country auction sales because it is there they make their cheapest purchases. Livestock always costs much more in the large competitive terminal markets.

Anyone, any Tuesday forenoon, can bring any kind of livestock here and obtain full value.
