Station at Fort Collins (altitude five thousand feet), having been 
driven the same afternoon about six miles. Outside of a rapidity of 
respiration which might have been due to the drive, they appeared 
perfectly normal. They were under observation until December 
17th, when, having been apparently normal since their first arrival, 
they were sold to a local feeder. The feeder reported that these 
steers fattened as well as any others in the lot and that they were 
sold for slaughter about April 10, 1914. No medicinal treatment of 
any kind was given them. 
Case number seven, a yearling calf was shipped by express 
from Jefferson on February 11, 1914. It arrived in Fort Collins 
on the 12th, where, on examination, it appeared dull and had little 
appetite. The calf was thin, the coat staring, but the feces were 
of normal consistency. It was reported that the calf had had a 
marked diarrhoea on leaving Jefferson. After the second day the 
calf appeared entirely normal and remained so until March 9th, 
when it was returned to Jefferson, where it has since remained. On 
October 25, 1914, it was reported that the calf was in perfect health 
and had shown no return of the trouble. 
On August 5, 1914, case twenty, a bull seven years old, was 
shipped from Jefferson to Denver (Cut No. I.). This bull had 
Cut No. I. Case XX. Taken at Jefferson, Colorado, August 
4, 1914, the day before shipping.
