the livestock industry. It rs estimat-
ed that the Kansas City market, the

The goat tastes very much the
same as mutton, dealers said in dis.
cussing disposition Of goats sold on
this market.
"a goats reward for being fat
and healthy is to become mutton, and
a kid that goes to a packing house
! might be consoled with the knowledge
that his epitaph On the menu viii
read lamb " said one big dealer.
He added that packers are ,requir'
ed by the government to distinguish
between sheep and goats in transac
ton with dressed meat retailers, bu'
that the retailers are not required tt
I so inform consumers.
"The increasing magnitude of thu
goat market may be somewhat at
tributable to the fact that goats arr
quoted usually at 50 to $3.50 a hun
dred under> Sheep" the dealer said.
Goats are coming to market her
from Texas, New Mexico and Arizona
Those not conditioned for slaughte
are sold as feeders to farmers O.
