Excerpt from Mexico as a Market for Purebred Beef Cattle From the United States Something should be done to get the purebred stock of the United States before the Mexican ranchmen. It is impossible to take herds of bulls from one part of the State to the other to exhibit them. The railroad facilities are too limited, and it would be out of the question to drive them from place to place across the arid plains and mountains. It occurs to me that something might be done, perhaps under the patronage of Government, to establish an exhibition of purebred stock in Ciudad Juarez. From November to March the breeders could ship stock here where feeding would be comparatively cheap, since hay and grain delivered at El Paso or Juarez is at a nominal price. During the season I mention, the ranch men, many of them, visit the border, and more would come if such an exhibit existed to attract them. With an arrangement of this kind they could see the stock, could gain all the necessary information about it, and would. No doubt, when properly impressed, buy annually a sufficient number of bulls to give them a high class and heavy strain of range cattle.
