Mr. Brandt: Can you turn over cattle to the railroad that 

 way? 



A Member: We have never yet seen an animal that we had 

 killed in a wreck. They sell them for you according to contract, 

 and if you sign a contract to take $50 a head, all that they get 

 over and above that is clear profit to tlie railroad company. 



Mr. Brandt: You don't have to turn them over to the railroad 

 company. 



Mr. Cessna : Would this apply to feeders as w'ell as fat cattle ? 



Mr. Brandt: It would apply on all kinds of cattle; we don't 

 discriminate there. We ship from market to market on incoming 

 or outgoing stock. 



The President: I want to announce the Resolutions Committee:
