Cattle Receipts 20 Percent Create
As Southern Grass Steers Move

LANCASTER, Oct. 17 —CAT
TLE: Three days 5,146, week
ago 4,153. Supplies of local fed
steers were smaller than a week
ago.,The 20 per cent increase m
receipts was attributed to a more
liberal movement of grass steers,
mainly from southern states. A
very limited number of grass
steers went for slaughter. Fully
15 per cent of the run was cows
and about 45 loads slaughter
steers offered.
Fed steers and heifers are
steady to 25 cents, instances 50
cents lower than last Wednesday.
Best action centered on choice
and prime grades. Cows now 50
cents or more lower, bulls around
50 cents lower. Stockers and feed
srs about steady.
Bulk choice fed steers 1,000-
1,300 lbs. $23.25-25.25, a small
Angus Assn.
Approves Herd
Classification
The October board meeting of
the American Angus Assn, at St.
Joseph, Mo., marked a histone
occasion for the purebred bgef
cattle industry. The Angus board
iof directors unanimously ap
proved the herd classification pro
gram which it has been studying
for many months.' It is the first
time a major beef breed has un
dertaken such a constructive pro
gram on a nationwide basis.
Herd classification by the Assn,
will be voluntary and will be con
ducted on registered cattle owned
by its members. Officials feel that
the program will not be started
until some time in 1958. This will
provide additional time to work
out the mechanics of handling
classification.
Under the new herd classifi
cation program, each breeding
animal in the herd will have a
uniform, unbiased rating, accord
ing to type. As the years pass,
these records will provide a fairly
accurate check on herd progress.
