Show Butt- RD 565 was where they had been grazed in the summer. There is brush all over there, too; we call it Black brush, has green leaves on it, sticks out like alfalfa; they fill up pretty nice on that in the winter, a black mesa there. Cattle does fairly good on that if we have a wet fall to make these shoots come out of the dry stems, there is enough pep in them when there is any moisture to make the leaves come out, the cattle do fairly well on them, and so do sheep. BY THE SPECIAL MASTER: Q Where do you shop your cattle from? A Cur first shipment came from Iron county, Utah. Q I mean, where do you ship them from, after you graze the cattle. A Ship to Denver, mostly. Q From where? A From Utah; lots of them shipped to Denver. Q From what point in Utah? A From San Juan county, Utah; I guess what is grazed north of us probably are shipped to Ogden, up north in Utah, I don't know. BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q At what station did you load your cattle? A We generally drive them to Dolores, on the D. & R. G. narrow-gauge; that is our nearest point. Some loaded at Thompson Springs; hundreds of thousands of sheep are loaded there, on the standard gauge railroad. MR. BLACKMAR: I think that is all. 2531 |
