While some of these poorly fitted or to Young bulls Wen begging for bids there were not enough Between the Ages of is months to two years to satisfy . There is no doubt that the exhibition of steers both singly and in Carlots and groups has done much to raise the Standard of Quality and to increase the interest in Winter feed ing. There is a feeling that steers should be sold after the first show at which they Are and at which time they should be in prime condition. On the other hand the interest in the race becomes Keener when Terrose that have been winners at other shows come up Agi inst Competition at the next .
