Abstract

GOOD TO CHOICE HEIFERS are discounted from one to three dollars per hundredweight on most U. S. markets. This is true for live weight as well as for wholesale carcasses. On the other hand, Good to Choice ewe lambs and gilts bring the same price as wether lambs and fat barrows of equal grade, for both live animals and for carcasses.
