Protect your herd and your profits by feeding Red Rose Cattle
Wormer with Thibenzole.
Over 85% of all dairy herds and 9 out of 10 beef cattle
herds surveyed are infected with roundworms. Roundworms
dram off blood and steal nutrients which slow growth and
result in lower milk production. And worms keep beef profits
down, too. Red Rose Cattle Wormer with Thibenzole cleans
out parasites safely, effectively in just one feeding. Follow
the lead of your neighbors, feed Red Rose Cattle Wormer
to your dairy and beef herds.
Ask us. We have all the details.

Packer Feeding
Of Livestock
Hit By USDA
In a report icleascd this
week, the U S Department
of Agricult me said that the
feeding of livestock by meat
packets can have a depres-ive
effect on prices at livestock
markets
The report was based on a
study conducted by USDA’s
Packeis and Stockyaids Divi
sion which showed that at one
of the nation’s top 10 teimui
als. the prices for Choice
grade steers actually ranged
from 25 to 50 cents pei hun
dredweight lowei under the
[varying influence on packer
ifed cattle used to fill slaugh
ter requirements
A given mciease in packer
fed supplies used for slaugh
ter had more than 10 times
as much effect on the local
market prices as the same in
crease in market receipts,
USDA said.
The market analysis is based
on packer feeding by one
s’aughiterer buying at the sam
ple terminal market in 1982.
Packer feeding accounted for
about thiee percent of the
cattle slaughteied by packers
located near the market The
pi unary packer-feeder in the
aica fed about 10 peicent of
its tc'al cattle slaughter
Data on movement of cat
tle during the weeks through
out the year showed no evi
dence of packer-fed cattle
consistently being used to
stabilize variations in mar
ket receipts.
In tracing the giowth and
development of packer feed
ing, the study indicates that
m 1965. 115 percent of all fed
cattle inaiketed more than
one in every 10 were fed
by a packer or a packer-associ

Packer feeding accounted
for about onetifth of the fed
cattle marketings in the West
and South m 1965, although
packeis or packer-associated
interests m the North Central

lion head of livestock last
year, the number represented
only 3 3 percent of the fed

stated
The study shows the leading
states in packer feeding of
cattle in 1965 were California,
Colorado, Texas, Washington,
Kansas, Arizona, Florida, and
Nebraska

effects of packer feeding m
