Rowe have the home that they purchased from Mr. will be Monday Sunday held in A greater spread in prices be­ tween the top grades of pure­ bred Shorthorns, add the animals of lower quality, is going to be one of the characteristics of the beef cattle market in the future, it was predicted at Seaforth on Thursday night by Harold White, Guelph, secretary of the Canad­ ian Shorthorn Association, and editor of “Shorthorn News.” The evidence of the past year indi­ cates, he said, that while the price level in the beef market has been falling, the prices paid for Shorthorn of top quality have been staying up. “I’m not sure that I have all the answers, but I feel that those who are willing to go out to produce Shorthorns of superior quality have little to fear from the future of this industry,” he said. The price trends of the fu­ ture, he observed, may be quite satisfactory to those who have complained in the past that not enough difference in price was being paid to recognize the dif­ ference between ordinary cattle , and animals of higher quality. “There has not been, in 1953, any, or at any rate more Jhan very little, falling off in the mar­ ket for good Shorthorns,” Mr. White said, “I think there are market trends in the commercial field to indicate that the price spread between the good ones and poor ones is going to get wider and wider. The commercial buyers are going to demand bet- ter sires.” * Wealth Not Essential In the last five years, White noted, Shorthorns won the Queen’s Guineas times, at the Royal Winter One Ontario farmer of moderate means, he said, was able to take top place in a class of 48 heifers at the Chicago International Ex-1 position, with at least 10 of the other animals in the class being i shown by millionaires or muti- millionaires. “Great wealth may be a convenience, but it is not a necessity,N;o get into the pure­ bred livestock business,” Mr. White said.
