Marketing animals sold must comply with the following limits: (a) Market lambs should weigh at' least 80 pounds at time of sale; (b) inarket hogs should weigh be tween 170 and 230 pounds; (c) market beef must weigh at least 750 pounds and no more than 1, 150 pounds. 4. Only animals that grade "good" or better will be sold in the auction. It is necessary to have this rule in order to present the buyers with a reasonable product and to prevent anyone from re ceiving a premium for a poor job of selecting and raising an animal for sale.
