you know for certain that they will be safe In LUX.

Cattle not to be sold under that minimum price and, if necessary, transferred to another area market or disposed of on a dead-weight basia. The auctioneers or dealers to deduct from proceeds a levy, to be for- warded to the Commission, by which all expenses would be met.
