marketed 10 Kansas City during the
past few weeks. During the month
OF July there was one consignment OF
$500 head and another Of 1000 head,
all being Angora grades. The goats
have been slaughtered in Kansas City, |
and local paper today makes the
statement that all Of this goat meat
has been put on the market as mutton.
The animals came into the stockyards
as goats, but the carcasses were ship.
ped out or sold to local meat dealers
as mutton. Such of the local dealers
as detected the character OF the meat
were given reduced prices by the
packers, but the less observing dealers
paid full mutton prices. The live
goats sold on the markets consider
ably lower than sheep, notwithstand-
ing the value Of their skins. The
United States inspectors at the stock
yards have passed the goats without
question, but have not marketed the
carcasses in any manner. All other
carcaSses examined and passed by the
inspectors are marked as being all
right, separate marks being used to
designate beef, pork or mutton. Tie
United States government in It's req
ulatiOns OF inspection takes no cog
nlzance OF the goat as food prOCuct,
hence the inspectors have nothing to
do with the goat meat when it is
passed through the packing houses
and put upon the market as mutton.
