Hunt, associate professor of animal
hushandry at the Virginia Polytechnic
Institute, has this TO say on the sub
ject of improving beef cattle:
with the prices of all kinds OF feed
ing stuff soaring upward, and the
value of land rapidly increasing. We
are led TO a moro serious consideration
of the kind and quality of the beef
cattle we are producing on our farms
The market price of steers OF pro-
per quality and conforma ton. and for
those that are lacking in quality. con-
formation and fieshing. varies greatly
This difference In price Is d6e to two
facts First. n choice steer will dress
out from IS per cent of sala BILE meat
as compared to live weight. while
poor. non -descript animal will dress
out only 40 TO so per cent. depend
ing On the degree of f1eshing and con-
formation eSeond. the steer that
dresses out Sc to IS per cent not only
has much higher dressing percent
age. but the quality of meat is much
superior. and will command top
prices. while cuts from steer dress
ing only 40 to so per cent will be
rated as second or third grade cuts
and can only command second or third
rate prices
For example. take the steer that
weighs 1000 pounds and sells for S.5
cents per pound. and will dress ont
81 per cent that steer will cost the
butcher 14S cents per pound dressed.
and will be of the very best quality OF
meat ON the other hand a steer that
weighs geo pounds and sells for 6.5
cents per pound will dress out 45 per
cent: this Will cost the butcher ] ~
cents per pound and will he an in
ferior era de of meat From the
butchers point Of view the SIS cent
steer is much the cheaper OF the two
due to the superior quality of tho
meat The butcher or the packer IL
willing to pay high. price for a SUI
perior animal and we should meet his
demands. for invariably y Is the high
est priced steer that ma6es the most
profits for the owner.
The question to he considered then
is. how can We produce this superior
animal? The average farmer who is
raising cattle for beet production has
lust an ordinary herd OF grade or nom
deserjpt cows and cannot AFFORD TO
dispose of all of these animals, and
invest in pure-bred cows for beef pro-
duction alone. The first cost of pure
