Since its beginning in 1960, the
Louisville Barrow Show has seen
a steady and marked im
provement in carcass meatiness,
accoring to Dennis Liptrap,
Extension swine swpecialist for
the University of Kentucky.
In comparing the average
values for the top 20 prize
winning carcasses at the 1960 and
1971 shows, he found an 18 per
cent increase in loin eye area
from 4.89 square inches to 5.51
square inches and found
essentially no change in the
length of the carcasses!
The per cent of the chilled
carcass composed of the four
lean cuts was calculated from
1960 to 1967. This time period saw
a seven per cent increase in per
cent lean cuts from 56.8 per cent
to 60.7 per cent.
Ham and loin per cent was
reported from 1964 through 1971
and increased from 41.0 per cent
to 46.2 per cent for a 13 per cent
increase.
The first show in 1960 saw 64

Many farmers today do not
know how much return they
recieve lor their management,
labor, and capital and, therefore,
judge a year’s progress on how
much money is in the bank
According to figures compiled
by farm management specialists
at Pennsylvania State Univer
sity, the average net farm in
comes on 642 Commonwealth
dairy larms in 1967 was $14,139
The family labor income was
$9,531
A good businessman will keep
adequate records and study them
to determine the profitability of
the operation. This is necessary
to determine whether ad
justments should be made to
increase profits
The Cooperative Extension
Service offers an agricultural
records program to help dairy
farmers measure profits in their
business. The program also
calculates efficiency factors to
assist in finding weak spots
where changes are necessary.

program will help you, contact
