Cattle Shrink
Affects Price
When you ship cattle to mar
ket the highest price per pound
doesn’t necessarily mean the
highest profit or the most
money received per animal.
All cattle lose weight while
you are sorting, loading and
hauling them to market. An un
derstanding of this weight loss,
or “shrink,” or “drift” as it is
sometimes called is important
to those who make a living in
the livestock and meat business
Most cattle will shrink up to 3
percent if feed and water is
withheld for 12 hours. Further
shrink occurs during hauling
The greatest amount of hauling
shrink occurs during the first
few miles after leaving the
farm.
Some cattle feeders take have occurred around the Falk
pride in topping the market, land Islands in the South Atlan-
Market topping cattle are usual- tic Ocean because of the strong
ly very fat and show a well winds, which average 25 miles

two factors are not necessarily
bad, the end result can be de
ceiving. A higher price per
pound on cattle with no fill may
result in no more total money
than a lower price per pound
on a normal fill.
An understanding of shrink
or weighing conditions is im
portant when comparing prices
