This was a sharp improvement

a comparable study placed only
one-third of the 1960-61 season’s
hogs in the top category. The
typical slaughter gilt or barrow
carcass last season was also
about one-third of an inch long

leaner.

cause of widespread current in
terest by the livestock industry.
There were S 3 percent of the
hogs in the study grading No. 2,
compared with 38 percent in
the earlier study. Near the bot
tom of the scale, hogs grading
No. 3 were estimated at 12 per
cent of the crop, down from 25
percent for the 1660-61 season.
Finally, hogs grading Medium
and Cull totaled less than 3 per
cent in both studies.
The study was conducted us
ing the carcass grade standards
in effect from July 5, 1955 to
April 1, 1968. The Department
revised the official standards for

as of April 1, IMS. Under the
revision a subitantlal number of
carcauea formerly grading U.S.
No. 1,2, or S will now grade No,
2, S, or 4, respectively. The new
U.S. No. 1 grade li limited to a
small proportion of superior
meaty carcasses.
Carcass grades were obtained

meat grader sampled and grad

The sample was chosen to repre

seasons. The resulting estimate
for barrow and gilt grades was
determined to be accurate with
