Farr said that one goal
should be to get to at least 40
per cent I’s and 2’s in either
Choice or Good grade. These
kinds of cattle will be worth
more and will cost less to
produce.
He explained what could
happen if weekly slaughter
dropped back to an average
of 700.000, if half of this were
fed cattle, and if feeders
reduced the feeding period to
produce a large percentage
of YG 2’s. This would reduce
live weights by 50 pounds per
animal, and it would mean 30
pounds less per carcass.
That amounts to 10.5 million
pounds less carcass beef per
week, or more than a half
billion pounds less in a year.
If this were done, retailers
and consumers would be
getting a higher percentage
of lean beef for their money,
and cattlemen would enjoy a
better market for their
cattle.
