Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, August 12, 1954 Cattle Slaughter In West Doubled In Last 25 Years "Cattle and calf slaughter in the West has more than doubled in the last quarter of a century", says a new bulletin released by the agricultural experiment sta tion at Oregon State college. The publication, "The Quality of Western Beef", lists a large increase in population as the principal reason for such rapid gains in beef slaughter. From July 1, 1951 to June 30, 1952, three out of five cattle slaughetred in 10 western states graded prime, choice, or good, re ports the bulletin. On a regional basis, 41 percent of the slaughter in Oregon-Washington-Idaho graded prime, choice or good. In the Wyoming-Colorado-New Mexico-Utah re gion, 73 percent of the slaughter fell in the three top grades. In California-Nevada-Arizona, t h e figure was 61 percent. Authors of the publication, C. W. Vrooman, OSC agricultural economist, and Harold Abel of the federal agricultural market ing service, Denver, Colo., found some seasonal differences in slaughter between various grades of beef in the area covered by the study. They report the tendency is for more than half of the year's supply of good and choice to be killed during the first six months of the year. In the case of com mercial and utility cattle, most of them are killed during the last six months. In general throughout the year, the amount of cattle falling in the three top grades tends to be somewhat lower during the fall, higher during the early spring and summer months, the authors explain. For each grade,-the proportion of the year's total kill in each month was similar in all regions. It was also found that packing BOATS Outboard Motors Boat Trailers Hardware and Paints FRANK'S BOAT SHOP Route One, Box 206-2D Hermiston, Oregon Diagonal Road Fhone 6232 plants permitted to ship between states killed higher quality beef than those limited to within state business. This was narticu. jlarly true in the Pacific North west region.
