X FARM AND RETAIL X
X ppInEc on MEATc 4

fhlCEO VI MEALS =
X X X x X X x X X X X X X x X X
What caused the difference between
the farm and the retail prices Of
meat, is explained in an article on
"The Marketing of Live Stock" by
K. F. Warner, printed in bulletin
containing Studies in Marketing, by
L. D. H. Weld, of the Minnesota Col
lege Of Agriculture, and others. The
explanation is exceedingly simple
and highly interesting in view of all
the talk that has been heard on the
subject.
The weight of the dressed carcass
is only fifty-one per cent of the live
weight for cattle; seventy-seven per
cent for hogs; forty-seven per cent
for sheep. This fact is often lost
sight of by those who can not un-
derstand the wide spread between
farm prices and retail prices of meat.
/ In the case of beef, the packer sells
the whole carcass for less than he
paid for the live animal. For exam
pie in 1913, the average price of
cattle to, the packers at South St.
Paul was 1925 per hundred. Thus
a 1,0O0-pound steer would cost the
packer $3.50. He sold the carcass
for 1855 (average), and got $15.06
for by-products. Thus he received
$73.71 for the animal that cost
$62.50, a gross margin of $11.21. Out
of this $11.21 the packer had to pay
the expenses Of his packing plant,
the freight to local distributing
houses, and the operation of these
houses
The retailer paid $5S.65 for the
carcass and sold the whole for $S4.2O
to consumers, at prices ranging from
IL or IA cents to 80 cents a pound,
an average Of about 16 cents pound
for the whole carcass. The gross
margin for the retailer was $25.55,
or 1913 per cent of selling price.
Since it costs retailers from 20 to
Is per cent Of sales to do business,
it is apparent that the retail butch
ers are not making Unfortunately large
profits, but that the costs of doing
business are very high.
The Minnesota farmer gets for his
animal about 81 or So per cent of
the price finally paid for by the by
products and the meat together.
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1915-05-20

ping association is clearly shown by
Mr. Warmers article in the fact that
it costs from SO cents to 81 per 100
pounds to market live stock from the
farm to the packer at South ST. Paul
through local buyer, whereas it
costs from 80 to 40 cents only
through the shipping association.
