steer farmer, presenting the far
mer’s view.
Mussleman said his layers were
better fed and housed now than
when he first started farming. “We
have less mortality and higher pro
duction now.” Mussleman said.
Weaver said he really enjoys
seeing his animals healthy and
comfortable. He considers his ani
mals a “responsiblity” and does his
best to feed and care for them.

their organization, which is char

ested in violations of state law.
“We often need to take the side of
the farmer when dealing with
urban people who know nothing
about animal husbandry,” Mauger
said.
Bill McCoy, president, Lancas
ter Stockyards, said the livestock
marketing industry is often caught
in the middle. The need to accept
the animals as they come off the
truck puts a burden on the humane
care of down or sick animals when
you have all the other animals that
go through the facility. He
expressed the desire to find the
problem areas and do what was
possible to remedy them.
Dr. Gary Van Dyke, a Chur
