he said. “Both live animals
and fresh meat are
perishable products that
require special handling in
distribution. Thus, the U.S.
roust necessarily develop an
efficient ‘special handling’
system for the livestock and
meat,” he said.
Anderson described the
kind of system he believes is
necessary for the ex
portation of livestock and
beef on a major scale.
“First,” he said, “the
United States must be able to
produce substantially more
livestock and meat. We need
livestock marketing firms
and meat packers who are
export minded, willing to
dedicate a substanial portion
of their output to foreign
markets and maintain those
markets through price
fluctuation periods, not just
when prices are favorable
for exporting.”
Among other things
needed, Anderson said, were
the proper preconditioning of >
livestock for transport and
meat slaughter and
distribution that will provide
and deliver microbially
cleaner meat that will not
discolor or sour.

Anderson said the
prospects for developing
such a delivery system look
good because:
- Unit trains for
perishables are being
established from the West to
the East Coast, which should
provide for more reliable
fast schedules.
- There are now airport
and ocean port facilities for
livestock.
• Some export minded
slaughter operations for
fresh meat have been
developed.
- Air carriers are
developing insulated and
refrigerated air cargo
containers that will protect
small-lot perishable ship
ments on the ground .as well
as in the air.
- Foreign consumers are
developing a taste for meat
products that only can be
supplied in quantity now by
the United States.
Although there are still
some problem areas to be
worked out, Mr. Anderson
said, “the prospects for
increased livestock and beef
.exports look good and the
delivery system appears
adequate .to handle them.”
The Board has already
completed one project mid
plans to enter a window
display in the County Fairs
this fall. The Youth are also
going to be on T. V. Channel 8
on July 1, at 12:30.
