MEAT YIELDS OF FOOD ANIMALS
Stats lical studies Just completed
by the U.ited Stases D partment o.
Ag iculture. showing meat yields or
various classes Of animals in proper
tion to I've weight, bring olt cle-rty
the import nee Of good bre eding! In
the work conducted, all the principal
kinds of market livestock were In
GUIDED, the grades varying from com
mon stock to amin ais 81 iughtered In
the carcass competitions OF the In
ternatfonal Livestock Exposition.
Figures were obtained from q num-
ber Of government soarces and
from the packing industry:
The difference in dressing yield
for various grades Of cattle ranged
from 48 10 66 per cent, meaning that
that proportion of the animal was the
dresse ed carcass. For sheep and
.an-bs the essing yield varied from
AZ per cent for common market ewes
to 58.3 per cent for international
ow wYethers. The figures for sSttne
show dressing percentages ranging
from rs to S5.3 per cent. The rela :
lively high figures for swine are due
in part to the fact that the skin and
head comm My remain on the car
cass. The International Show ami
mails in each case are chiefly
purebreds, fed specially to produce
an ideal carcass.
The results. in the judgement OF
special.ies in the Bureau Of Animal
industry, are clear cut evidence that
the types of animals shown and re
cognized as best by judges of live
stock are much superior to poorly
bred stock from a meat standpoint.
The practical side Of the study just
completed is shown by the following
statement by John Roberts, of the
Bureau Of Animal Industry.
1.-THE difference in dressing yield
between a good and a common
steer, according to the figures col
pound steer this would mean so
pounds n ore Of marketable meat.
Nor is this all. since the meat OF the
higher C ass animal Is superior In
quality throughout, as well as being
distributed among the choicer cuts.
In ether words. the well bred steer
makes a more profitable use of his
feed than the infericr one. These
things are taken strictly into &C.
count by the experts who price the
animals in the stockyards; they
are indeed, the factors that deter
mine the market value of one class
as compared with another.
"What happens when two such
steers are sold in the open market is
Of interest. Consider good and a
common steer raised on the sarns
farm and fattened together In the
same feed lot. Assume that each
steer wciehs 1000 pounds and they
are marketed at Chicago during the
first week of July, 1928. The result
Of the sale would have been as fol-
