It's the extra pound of flesh on the fowl that cheapens production costs
and commands a premium price for the poultryman. According to the Sears
RoebucH Agricultural (foundation the extra pound can be put on for from f to
7 cents, which increases the value of each pound to the consumer by making
the entire carcass more plump und attractive, so it commands a fancy price
ever lighter birds. Heavy hens sell from 5 to 11 cents more than light hens.
It's true all down the line turkeys, ducks, capons, hens and young frys the
extra pound brings the extra dollar.
(Her a period of three years the New York market shows heavy fresh-killed
milk-fed fowls or bens weighing 5 pounds or over to average from 4 to 11 cents
higher per pound than the light fowls weighing 3 pounds. The five-year aver
age for the month of September shows the heavy fowls to average 9 cents over
the light weight, the margin broadening during October and November, reach
ing its height in December, When the heavy fouls range to 11 cents a pound
over the llgU weights.
The average weight of the ordinary fowl as It comes from the farm Is 3
to I pounds. The poultryman with the eye for business will add an extra pound
or so uuu receive ine top prices, me rarmer who takes thin,
poultry to market is beating himself.
