MARKETING COSTS = why
do you pay a dollar for a pound
of steak when beef cattle are SELL
ing for 35 cents a pound? George
Vapaa, Kent county agent explains
the difference between on-the-hoOf
and on-the-hook prices this way:
Nature doesn't provide many
choice cuts or top grades. Less
than four percent of steer is
sirloin steak; only a little more
than half is meat A side of beef
also includes stew meat, shanks,
shoulder roasts and trimmings.
The price a housewife pays for
steak also includes other items
besides the price of the animal
such as freight, labor, packaging
and risk.
These costs and other market
ing costs vary from one season to
another, he explains. However. in
recent years they have remained
fairly steady. Marketing costs do
not move up and down as rapidly
as farm prices.
That's why, Mr.. Vapaa explains,
a temporary drop in cattle prices
may mean only small reduction
in prices at the meat counter.
