Contradicting Results

In Florida study covering over 500
carcasses, total fat content of the meat
and degree of marbling were highly
related to tenderness in the loin muscle
of beef Both shear tests and taste
panels were used in this investigation.
In Texas study, however, only total
fat content of the meat, as measured
by either extract, had any bearing on
tenderness. This may seem somewhat
disconcerting that something, which
has long appeared SO obvious to many
persons, should be so difficult to prove
in the laboratory.
Beef grading standards are, of course,
determined by meat experts who have
long accepted the theory that marbling
is essential for flavor and tenderness

What Is the Value of Marbling
a Beef Carcass?

WHAT is THE value of marbling in
a beef carcass? The answer to that
question depends on whether you are
cattle feeder or beef eater. To the
feeder, the degree of marbling i'm the
carcass may mean the difference be-
tween us. Good and us. Choice
stamp and possible profit or loss. To the
consumer, marbling is not necessarily a
guarantee of good eating or easy chew
ing.
Several research studies on this ques-
ton all agree that the total fat content
b of beef does contribute flavor and ten
derness. On the contrary some studies
have shown marbling itself to have
little to do with the good eating quail
ties of beef
Marbling has been defined as the in
terspersion of fat between the muscle
fibers of the beef carcass When an
animal fattens, fat is deposited mostly
in certain cells of the connective tissue.
This deposition of fat, therefore, en-
largeS these cells which makes them
rupture more easily and supposedly
makes for easier chewing of the meat.
This is the basis of the theory that
marbling is essential for having tender
beef
Montana farmer-stockman., 1962-09-01

AS experienced cattle feeders know,
well-marbled beef comes only from
lcng-fed cattle. This may mean a feed
ing period of $50 to $50 days depending
on the age and condition of the cattle
when they went on feed Full briskets
Montana farmer-stockman., 1962-09-01

Marbling and Grade
This is not Only stated in the federal
standards but Kansas State University
also found marbling to be highly cor
related with grade in statistical studies.
For several years beef grading us.
Choice has enjoyed a wide preference
and is featured exclusively by several
retail food chains. These same retail
outlets report that they are able to
merchandise more beef grading U.S.
Choice and with less customer dissatis-
faction than they can any of the lower
grades. To make US. Choice, the beef
must have moderate amount of
marbling, depending on the age of the
animal producing the carcass.
The consumer, obviously, is not ask
ing for marbling as such, but only good
eating. The retailers reasons for want
ing marbled beef have already been
stated The packer, in turn, has to
supply the retailers demand If he
wants his business.
The end-man on this chain reaction
is, of course, the cattle feeder who can
only ask himself how best to furnish
what these other people want. And,
how to produce marbled beef is neither
cheap nor easy.

to the animals environment and feed
intake. 1t also is being continually
moved about in the live animal
Perhaps marbling in the live steer
may be on ''now he is, now he isn't
basis. For example, steer exhibited
at recent Montana show, had all the
earmarks of being Prime on foot but
in the carcass didn't have enough mar
bling to make the Choice grade.

Grade Variation

Predicting carcass grade in live cattle
might seem an easy process with little
buyers are satisfied with rs per cent
or more of their purchases falling with
in the estimated grade There are, how
ever, plenty of instances when cattle
showing every evidence of a Choice

Experimental results also show that
the correlation between live slaughter
grade and carcass grade is not very

anatomy. 1t is body reserve that is
either accumulated or used according

and heavy flanks are the usual external
signs of internal finish. These are the
lowest value and the most wasty cuts
on the entire beef, but until there is
fat showing in these parts there is not
likely to be much marbling on the in
side of the carcass.
This practical means of determining
slaughter grade in live cattle also has
support in scientific Investigations. Ac-
cording to Callow, an English scientist,
as the per cent of fatty tissue rises,
higher proportion of extra fat is de-
posted in fatty tissue and lesser
proportion in muscle tissue
Fattening then favors fatty tissue
USDA scientists have also found that
the fat content of the rib-eye increased
much faster after the total fat content
of the carcass reached "a per cent than
at lower stages. Moderately fat cattle
are considered to have about 80 per
cent fatty tissue.

High Energy Rations
Feeding high energy rations is the
common approach to fattening cattle
and is, essential for rapid and efficient
gains. In recent years, this procedure
has become more intensified with the
national abundance of corn, barley and
other cattle fattening feeds.
Coupled with this is the increase in
feeding calves and lightweight year.
lings which require a high proportion
of concentrates to roughage in the fat
tening ration. Strangely, however, this
particular trend in cattle feeding seems
to coincide with the growing difficulty
cattle feeders are experiencing in get
ting cattle into the Choice grade even
though carcass yields are often over so
per cent
The fact that fat attracts fat may
be one explanation. Rather recent re-
search, however, at several Corn Belt
experiment stations indicates that a .
change in feeding practices and rations
might provide a partial answer
Concentrated -ROughage Ratio
In Kansas study, heifers fed to
concentrate-roughage ratio had essenti-
ally the same marbling as those fed at
to / ratio. Average daily gains were,
of course, higher for the to i heifers.
At the Illinois Station there was no diff
ference in carcass grade or dressing
percentage on cattle fed a 60:40 or
1920 concentrate-roughage ratio.
Similar results were reported in a
Minnesota trial with yearing steers
fed ground ear corn with and without
alfalfa-brome hay or ground, shelled
corn with the same hay. No significant
differences were noted in carcass
weight, USDA grade. marbling and con-
formation scores, rib-eye area and
thickness of fat over the rib-eye at the
18th rib.
recent Nebraska feeding trial
showed that yearling heifers fed IS
per cent cracked corn and Is per cent
dried beet pulp in the ration graded
about one-third grade higher in the
carcass than heifers fed 100 per cent
cracked corn. Second cutting alfalfa
hay was also fed free-choice. Faster
gains and some saving in feed was also
for the corn-pulp heifers.
Somewhat contrary to all this, an Ok
lahoma study showed that high level
of feeding and a rapid rate of gain
were necessary for high degree of
Condition Before Fattening
Since marbling is considered to be
a rather delayed action in the fattening
process, there is some speculation that
The condition of cattle previous to fat
sening may have some bearing on
narbling when finished The Missouri
Agricultural Experiment Station ran
4 feeding trial on this angle and found
hat steers wintered on a high-energy,
ration produced carcasses
after fattening that had better marbling
and conformation scores and carcass
grades than steers wintered on high

HATTERAS ISLAND
GETS RATE CUT,
BETTER SERVICE
Phone Company TO Initiate New
Rates. Additional Lines To
Outer Banks July First

L. S. Blades, Jr., President of
the Norfolk and Carolina Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company
announced this week that resi-
dents of Hatteras Island will
receive a reduction in telephone
rates as we'll as additional serv-
ice beginning July first this
year.
According to Mr.. Blades, "The
rates for Hatteras have now
been established by order of
the North Carolina Utilities
Commission on motion of the
telephone company and have
been made the same as Kill
Devil Hills and the Mays Head
beach area"
A new coming system on the
island is responsible for the
rate change. Under the new sys-
tenn many areas of the island
will be considered as if they
were in Buxton, the exchange
and will be billed a
flat rate. These areas include
Buxton, Frisco, Hatteras, Avon,
and Waves. Areas between these
towns will be billed mileage ac-
cording to the nearest village.
For example, Buxton will be
billed a flat rate. Frisco
south of Buxton, will be
billed the same flat rate as Bux-
ton even though there are sew
eral miles of wire separating the
two. The area between Buxton
and Frisco will pick up mileage
from each direction until a point
Of equadistance from the two
villages.
Phone service from a point
one mile north from Frisco and
two miles south from Buxton
will be billed for only one mile.
This coming system will be in
effect for all areas south of
Buxton. The rest of the island
north of Buxton, except
for the Avon and Waves area,
will be charged mileage from
Buxton.

Dare County is expected to
receive approximately $4,000
from a federal grant, announced
on Wednesday, which will award
$84,225 in funds to the N. C.
Department of Conservation and
Development, for development
planning.
The county and IL cities in the
state get about $4,000 in state
and local funds to make various
studies needed for growth and
development planning. Approx
mately $4,000 will. be appropriate
ed over the next two years in the
county to supplement the feder-
al funds, according to Ralph
Swain, Chairman of the Dare
County Planning Board.
Swain stated Wednesday that
$4,000 had been appropriated
from the tentative budget for
1962-196S to cover the county's
share of participation in the var
ious surveys which were needed
for the current fiscal year.
The money from federal sour
ces will provide for land use
surveys, coming, subdivision
regulations, building codes, and
an origin and designation study,
he said.

ENGINEERS REQUEST
DREDGING FUNDS FOR
TWO COASTAL CHANNELS

The U. S. Army Corps OF
Engineers recommended a list of
waterway improvements totaling
$625,000 to Congress, on Mon
day, for channel work on the
Dare coast.
The recommendation calls for
for the deeping of Robinson
Channel and the construction of
new channel from Hatteras
Inlet to Robinson Channel. The
improvements are contingent up
on authorization, during the next
session of Congress, by the
House and Senate Public Works
Committees.
The recommendation would
provide for a new channel with
a IL foot depth and the deepen
ing of Robinson Channel from
six to IL feet. Maintenance for
the project would cost $4,000
a year.

HIGH PRAISE FOR
SEASHORE PARK
Interior Department Director
and Family Vacation at
Cape Hatteras

Secretary of the Interior Stew
art L. Udall and his family
vacationed this week on the
Cape Hatteras Banks as the
busy Cabinet officer took a brief
respite from his official duties
in Washington.
The Udall family were housed
in the old lighthouse caretaker's
cottage at Buxton, and appar-
emily enjoyed their stay to the
fullest. They arrived late Friday
night, and were met at South
Oregon Inlet by Chief Ranger
Anthony Stark, who guided them
to the cottage.
Next morning, District Ranger
Jack Stark, no kin to the chief
ranger, took the visitors in tow
in four-wheel-drive jeeps for a
tour of the beach and the Bux-
ton woods. They all went SWIM
ming, and the kids climbed to
the top of Cape Hatteras light
house several times.
Fishing, Air Tour
Next on the program was
fishing trip. Balfour Baum took
out the party in the launch,
Butch, accompanied by Park
Supt. Reese Smith, who had
looked after the party from the
time of their arrival. Superin-
tendent Smith took Secretary
Udall on trip Tuesday over
the Outer Banks in one of Bill
Henderson's planes.
The Secretary then was flown
to Norfolk to board another
plane for Washington. His fam
lily remained at Hatteras a few
days longer.
The family consists of Mrs.
Udall, the former Erma Lee
Webb of Mesa, Ariz., and the
children, Tom, IA, Scott, 10,
Lynn, IL, Lori, 10, Denis, 6, and
James, 8. Lynn and Lori are
girls.

while driving towards Manteo,
approximately 2 miles north of
town.
No charges have been filed,
according to Sheriff Frank Ca
hoon. A corners's inquest has
been scheduled for Monday, July
2 at 7:30 pm. Griffin, who was
yisibly upset and apparently in
shock after the accident, stated
that he was driving his Volks-

tempt to reach Mays Head, when
the collision occurred.
{, "The lady started to cross the
road and stepped back. i
thought she saw me. then she
stepped out again" 81 wouldn't
have hit her for anything in the
world" he said.
Mrs. Basnight, a native of
