40 RANCHING TN THE CANADIAN WEST 



the greatest majority of stock-keepers sell, is be- 

 tween $40 and $50 each, and $35 for dogie four- 

 year-olds. The net profit amounts to about the 

 same, whether the rancher exports them himself or 

 disposes of them to buyers who visit the ranch, 

 as the cost of transport to Great Britain represents 

 about half what a beast realizes when sold for beef.
