Cotiowingo, MD National Reputation Local Service (301)378-3280 The Bottom Line As everybody knows the bottom line represents your profit or loss, and at WALTER M. DUNLAP AND SONS we do all we can to enhance your profit or minimize your loss. How do we do it? The answer is in the way ail livestock consignments are expertly sorted and handled whether those consignments are fat cattle, veal calves, feeder pigs or fat hogs. The result is LESS SHRINK. First of all, every consignment of feeder pigs, veal calves and fat hogs is weighed upon arrival. So, with LESS SHRINK, and at present prices, this means MORE DOLLARS for you the con signor. Secondly, all fat cattle are assigned large pens and each con signment is kept separate. With large airy pens and water available the result is LESS SHRINK. And just one more matter of importance There is no waiting at the docks to unload. What does all this add up to? The bottom line is LESS SHRINK and more dollars to you the consignor.
