PLATE VII. 



Fig. I. — A 5-Year-Old Native Steer. The Offspring of Scrub Parents 

 IS A Poor Beef Animal that Brings a Poor Price. 



Fig. 2. — A 2-Year-Old Grade Hereford Steer Raised on the Jornada 

 Range Reserve, the Result of Effort to Improve the Grade of 

 Stock. 



Note in general better beef characteristics as compared with Fig. 1. This type of animal is better 

 suited to fattening for beef, and brings a higher price to the producer.
