The results Of this experiment clear
ly show that when the various grades
of beef cattle are put in the best mar
ketable condition there is a very def
mite relation between the percentag ges
Of dressed beef and the grade of cattle
involved. The better the grade Of cat
tie the higher the percentages Of
dressed beef.
Low grade cattle carry larger per-
centages Of internal fat than the better
bred ones, while there appears to be a
more abundant and more evenly dis
tributed layer of surface fat on the
better bred steers.
AS the differences between feeders
tend 10 disappear as the feeding proc
ess goes oO, the differences in quality
between the various grades Of feeding
cattle are more pronounced than such
differences between the various grades
Of beef or fat cattle. Quality is the
more important in feeding cattle; con-
dition I'm fat cattle.
Primarily this experiment was out
lined to determine the relation between
the grade Of feeding steers and their
