mental laggard in recognizing the
trend of demand for his product.
If the customers want the larger type,
the registered people will have to
supply it," he said. Fulcher also
stressed the value of good quality
dams in beef production
Customer Always Right
Much in the cattle business de-
pends on the customer, ''who is al
ways right" said Milton Simpson,
Montana Stockgrowers Assn. presi-
dent of Volberg. He explained that
the commercial cattlemen must keep
guessing ahead as to just what kind
of a beef carcass the housewife
wants.
Feeder buyers want cattle that viii
make them good return in feeding
profits. Simpson suggested that both
commercial and registered cattlemen
should visit the feed yards their cat
tie go to periodically to keep up with
changing demand conditions. Cen
orally speaking, he thinks it is nee
essary to pick type that has good
big, growthy frame with plenty of
room for expansion. He doesn't think
it is necessary to bother much about
legs as the packer buyers cut them
off anyway.
Too much attention has been paid
to show ring standards, Simpson
thinks, rather than the simple pro-
duction of good growth calves ca
pable of putting on beef. Crossbreed-
ing went out with the horse and
buggy days, he said, and straight
line-bred Herefords are proving to be
as thrifty and more desirable.
Feeder Prefers Medium Size
Warren Monfort, Denver, Colo, ex-
pressed a preference for top good

feed lots and believes the extra cos
of higher quality feeders is well re
turned in faster and higher gains

basic short shank type they like.
Personally, l like the larger of the
medium size cattle"
A better ratio of balance in cash
value of front and hind quarters is
something Crawford Frost thinks the
packers should consider. Breeding
should be toward an animal with
lighter shoulders but heavy top and
large hind quarters, which is where
the choice, higher priced cuts come
from. He suggests that packers "rib
out" show animals of the different
breeds so that an actual determina-
ton of where the meat comes from
can be made.
Suggests Guarantee
Charles Redd of LaSal, Utah,
brought up the idea that this respon-
sibility of the registered breeder to
the commercial cattlemen should per-
haps be put on guaranteed basis.
s'The show ring is not always safe
register of values and the registry
of merit program doesn't always do
the job"
The commercial man is entitled to
some assurance that bull will per-
form, said Redd, and suggested that
such guarantee might be given
for an added 10 percent. If the bull
didn't produce, the buyer could ask
for a replacement or adjustment of
some kind.
Redd criticized show ring judges
who place one animal and then indi-
cate on the side that another animal
not quite as ''showy" would be bet
ter addition to any herd for the pro-
duction of better cattle. ssWe had
better breed judges that will have
more courage he declared.
Defines Type
Type was defined by Harold Full
cher, Arvada, Colo, as an ideal com
bining all the factors which con-
tribute to the animals efficiency fol
the purpose specified. He thought
the conventional type was the one

for sale to feeders. He added that rs
percent of the beef is produced on
feeds other than grains. Quality 'ton
the hoof" can't be fed into animals
but quality and weight sof the meat"
can.be accomplished through feeding,
to large extent
Packer buyers have an unlimited
demand for 400 to 600 pound beef
carcasses at the present time largely
because the average housewife
doesn't want a lot of fat on her light
cuts of meat.
"It's still the consumer demand
that sets the price," Hablas added.
"And price is the only real restric-
ton ON consumption-indic that
we would be better off having more
meat at lower prices through in
creased efficiency"
Cuts of meat showing the rib eye
of large, medium and small type cat
tie were shown to the audience.
Hablas pointed out in the demonstra-
ton that this essential rib eye was
seldom any larger in large cattle
than in smaller types.
Large VS.. Medium
Fred Wilson, head of animal in
dustry department, Montana State
college, pointed to Montana research
work indicating that producers must
get a considerable premium for the
medium type cattle produced here
over the large type to realize the
same profits. The medium type cat
tie have not graded any higher when
dressed out than the larger type and
the selling price has been practically
the same.
Experiments in 1949-50 showed
difference of $735 for large cattle
out of the feed lots over the medium
type. Wilson pointed out that in
Montana considerations, the term
medium" should be used rather than
small because there are none of the
really ''smalI' cattle known to other
areas.
Many of the commercial cattlemen
have a natural preference for the
larger cattle if they are operating on
public grazing lands because their
fees per animal unit are the same
for large animal as for the smaller
type and greater profit can usually
be realized.
There is definite evidence, how
ever, according to Wilson, that,
-. we can select for maximum feed
utilization within the various size
types"
Proved Capacities
The ability to put on pounds will
always be a factor on the range, ex-
planned Albert Mitchell, Albert, N
M, because commercial cattlemer
have to sell to feeder buyers who
still get more money from more
pounds on the finished animals.

Good Conformation
"You don't have to worry about
type or size if you just produce ami
mails with good conformation includ-
ing head, top and flanks," said A. H
Karpe, cattle feeder of Bakersfield,
Calf. Feeding experiences were
cited to show the feeding superiority
of quality calves. 1t is possible, how
ever, to carry over larger type ami
mails for longer feeding periods if
the market warrants it where this
is sometimes not possible with small
er types.
Howard Lewis, Bozeman, modera-
tor of the panel concluded with the
recommendation that the American
Hereford Assn. work for more prac-
teal standards in show judging. Such
standards should be "a little more in
line with our producers values" so
cattle buyers could be given a truer
picture of the potentialities of the
cattle, he said. He also suggested
something be done about getting a
closer relationship between the
breeders, show ring people, range
operators and the feedlot men.
HERD. RANCE MANAGEMENT
Careful selection of bulls and cows,
attention to health and nutrition and
maximum production from meadows,
ranges and pastures were stressed
by experts participating on the herd
and range management panel Friday
morning. Curtice Martin, Stevens
vile, served as moderator of the
panel.
Questions from the floor indicated
prime interest of stockmen present in
increasing grass production per acre.
This had been stimulated by reports
from members of the panel on new
records of range and pasture carry
ing capacity recently achieved in the
south and far west.
r. G. Johnson, range management
specialist, Montana State college,
stated that Florida had recently
added 100000 acres of pasture land
capable of producing from $50 to $50
pounds of beef year. He cited an
operation in Washington, which, un-
der oldtime range methods, had pro-
duced beef at cost of SIS hundred
pounds, was now, under more inten-
sive methods involving irrigation and
high fertilization, producing beef at
So per hundred pounds.
Grass Prime Resource
Johnson declared that grass is the
resource that carries the livestock
industry and said that in most in
stances the best range management
is that which makes the best use OF
the grasses established by nature
He pointed out that crested wheat
grass has proved itself this year by
providing green feed two to three
weeks earlier than native grasses.
intermediate wheatgrass has had
much favorable publicity, he said
and it does have much merit. 1t doe:
