The cattle selected for feeders this winter had especially long tatls. When the snow and rains came the feed lots were knee deep in mud. A mud ball began to form on the end of the tall of each steer and day by day these balls increased in size until it became apparent that something must be done. Nearly every steer had mud balls on his tall as large as a football. It was decided that the ends of the tails must be cut off. This of the tall of the biggest steer was In- jured and bleeding a little. Little was thought about it and nothing done until the next morning, when the men in charge of the cattle went to the feed lot and found the prize steer dead, having bled to death through its tail.
