tion was for both packers and
feeders to look for ways to
reduce costs. Copeland and
Haydon pointed out that the
discontinuation of lamb slaugh
ter In some plants was actu
ally advantageous to the in
dustry since the operations
would be consolidated and
made more efficient, thus de
creasing the cost of process
ing.
The final panel discussion
centered on ‘‘Optimum Yield
versus Cut-Out Value,” with
Lamar Esplin of Colorado
State University at Fort Col
lins as coordinator.
On the panel, Byron Tay
lor, market research manager
for the American Sheep Pro
ducers Council in Denver, is
sued a challenge to the feed
ers to give the consumer what
She wants in the way of lean
lamb. He pointed out that the
feeder is often more consum
er-oriented than producers,
since fed lambs go directly
to slaughter and on to the
consumer to either encourage
additional sales or stifle con
sumer interest in lamb.
Dr. Z. L. Carpenter, Pro
fessor of Animal Husbandry of
Texas A & M College said
that a major consideration to
the lamb buyer or seller is
dressing peicentage, or the
.pounds of carcass represented
in each 100 pounds live weight.

Carpenter said that in his
opinion it is evident that dress
ing percentage in lambs has
been overemphasized. He said
there is some indication that
more lambs need to be fed
the same amount of feed only
over a shorter length of time.
He said this would increase
the growth of meat and pro
duce a quality equal to an
average Choice grade.
George K, Hislop of Ya
kima, Wash., chairman of the
Industrywide Lamb Subcom
mittee, told the delegates that
his committee has two pri
mary objectives to produce
lambs that more nearly meets
consumer needs and to en
courage orderly marketing of
lamb for a more constant sup
ply.
Hislop said the program is
divided into two parts first,
a long-range program consist
ing of research and breeding
to improve the conformation
and meatiness of lamb; the
second part is the immediate
attempts to provide the con
sumer with the type of lamb
she wants through sheep man
agement practices.
In their convention resolu
tions the lamb feeders called
again for “appiopnate legisla
tion that would protect our
t V j"" '
domestic lamb industry from
damaging unregulated imports
of foreign lamb." They also
asked for extension of the n«-
tional wool act which provides
an incentive payment to
sheepmen on wool. In anoth
er resolution they protested
"vigorously all attempts to al
ter the free marketing system,
specifically, marketing quotas
and regulations that would
limit or control our freedom
of choice in the marketing of
our product.”
With transportation charges
as one of their major expen
ses, the feeders asked in reso
lution that the Interstate
Commerce Act be amended to
encourage greater competition
among all carriers. The feed
ers declared opposition to all
efforts to icpeal agricultural
exemptions of the motor car
riers.
