Sometimes You Need a Spreader
When spreading stockpiled lime, for example.
The Stoltzfus Wet Lime Spreader is likely the most
powerful spreader of its kind on the market today.
You see, we’ve been building them since 1945, and
farmers are still using Stoltzfus Wet Lime Spreaders
they’ve had for 20, even 30 years. Our special drag
chain is 4 times stronger than stainless steel, and
handles frozen and heavy stockpiled lime with ease.
Plus for spreading compost, composted sludge,
poultry litter and certain fertilizers, the WLS is
without equal for sheer volume spreading.
• Two-ton, five-ton, eight-ton models
• PTO, 540 rpm or 1,000 rpm
• Two-speed conveyor chain
• Leaf spring suspension
• Dual 24 ” spinners
• Spreads 40’effectively
• One-sided spreading capability
• Truck-mounted models available

NATIONAL FEEDER CATTLE
SUMMARY for week ending Mar. 22
Receipts: This week 149,000; last week
183,900: year ago 164,700. Compared to
last week, feeder steers and heifers sold
1.00 to 3.00 lower, with instances of 2.00
to 5.00 lower on cattle weighing over 700
lbs. A much needed rainfall was received
in parts of the Plains over the past week,
which should boost demand for gra/c-out
prospects. Areas of the Southeast received
enough rain to hamper the movement of
livestock, as the states of Kentucky and
Tennessee posted lowered auction re
ceipts. Buyers are anxious to purchase
grass cattle, but remain cautious as futur
es at the CMF remain rattled, and fin
ished cattle prices continue to show weak
ness.
The direct feedyard trade took its fair
share of blows this week, with live sales
3.00 to 3.50 lower at 71.00, and dressed
sales ranging from 113.00 to 114 00,
which is 6.00 lower than last week. A
sharply lower fcedlot trade, coupled with
a rumor of Foot and Mouth Disease in
Kansas last week, has brought the Board
to its knees; with nearby live cattle closing
down 75 cents on Friday at 69 77.
I.ast Friday’s bearish Cattle on Feed re
port seems to have taken a back scat to all
the other events in the beef industry over
the past couple of weeks. Officials in Kan
sas have estimated a substantial monetary
impact due to the Foot and Mouth rumor
that started last Wednesday: with regula
tors now investigating whether the mar
ket was manipulated for profit With
April a week away, red meal demand
should start blooming as weekend warri
ors’ start dusting off their grills for the
barbeque season This week’s reported
volume included 46 percent weighing
over 600 lbs
