I'm quite sure that the extra 90 lbs. was all tneat. If it had been a farmer wanting a good feeder for perhaps a future cow I could have understood him bidding the first heifer up to' the $20.10 or even higher but it was a packer who bought both these animals. I have, always thought that the packer was really not interested in cattle but rather in the actual meat from that animal. If this were the case, the meat from the first heifer wouldn't be as nice quality and would certainly be much dearer. There must be a great deal for farmers to learn about the process- ing of beef. Either the thin heifer was too dear or the finished heifer THE GADF.RTPI/ SIGNAL -STAR HUron-Bruce Picks R. Watson To _Run was ,too cheap.
