" By MARLENECUIUUN. Publicity Chairman ' Morrow Co. CowRellet The CowBelles are interes ted in many areas of the cattle industry. Our goals are in many areas; one of the largest lies In education. We wish to help the general public be come aware of many facets of the cattle Industry, from birth to locker. In that respect, an interes ting article by Dr. Roger Brownson, extension beef cattle specialist at Montana State University contains Im portant information. He states that cattle producers can con trol, to some extent, the prices they get for feeder cattle. The cow-calf producer can control some of the discounts and premiums commonly used in feeder sales. From breeding to marke ting, management is impor tant to control health and other factors that affect pri ces. It may not pay to try to avoid all discounts, but most of the causes can be control led. Buyers generally favor large-framed cYossbred cat tle, especially if they are available in large, uniform lots. However, many other factors affect prices, it was shown by a Kansas State University study of 86,000 ted ders vary from myth to legi timate bias, and buyers often have legitimate reasons for shunning certain cattle. How ever, what buyers say they want isn't always what they will pay for. To summarize the factors that can be managed to obtain 4Econo -Eating' Hy M(IMK STKHBINS OKU Kxtrnkitin Service A lot of people are talking about sugar these days. In the same conversation they may talk about how they are cut ting down on refined sugar and share their favorite des sert recipe with you. There are words like "sugar free" blazing boldly from the pac kage or a great pride shown in honey being used instead of sugar. It's very confusing. On the one hand, the nutritionists and our common sense tell us that we shouldn't eat too many foods that are high in calories, especially if they don't have any nutrients that we need. On the other hand all those sweets look and taste good. How many times have you served a luscious dessert that has had the "calories removed," when you protest that you're wat ching your weight? From ltaiO to 1977, annual per capita consumption of caloric sweeteners increased about 22 pounds. Most of this increase, in fact, two-thirds of the sugar supply is used by industry. Various sugars are found in processed foods where you'd expect to see them, such as in desserts, jams, ice cream and beve rages. But they are also in tilings such as cream substi tutes, salad dressing, ketchup ' and meat coatings. Manufacturers use different sugars because of their speci fic roles as ingredients. When we use the word sugar, we usually refer to sucrose which comes chiefly from sugar cane and sugar beets. There are other types of sugars, including lactose (found in milk),fruci e (found in fruit) and glucose (found in fruits and certain vegetables). They're honey, brown sugar, maltose, dextrose, corn sugar and corn syrup. They all offer flavor, calories and some tex ture qualities, but no nu trients. Molasses is the one sweetener that has some nu tritional value, but few people eat enough to contribute to their nutritional needs. When sugars and sweete ners make up a substantial share of your calories, they may replace other foods which offer vitamins and minerals. Sugars found in fruits and better prices, Dr. Brownson lists these: Health Lcss-than-thrifty calves were discounted $2.75 to $25 per hundredweight, and yearlings up to $7.50, the Kansas study showed. Unless sold directly upon weaning, keeping calves until they are eating and recover bloom may pay for sellers. Lot size - Large lots, bred and managed for uniformity, consistently bring higher prices p almost $2.50 more for larger lots of steer calves and $4 more than for yearlings as singles. However, larger lots of heavier heifers were dis counted slightly. Uniform weight - Unifor mityhh was significant only for larger lots, which tend to include a greater spread in size. This indicated that fee ders should be sorted by uni form weight only if sold in larger lots. Condition Buyers claim to prefer yearling feeders on the thin side, but sellers usually benefit from a little fat on their feeders. Calves in ave rage flesh sold for almost as much as thin ones, and fleshy yearlings outsold those in ave rage condition. The highest discounts, $5 to $9 per cwt., were made for extremely thin or fat calves, according to the Kansas study. Fill - Feeder buyers did not pay for less-lhan-average fill when buying healthy calves. Gaunt yearlings and steer and heifer calves actually were discounted, although gaunt yearlings brought about the same as those with average fill. This indicated that full -not visually tanked - calves may bring more, despite a price-per-pound discount. vegetables are basically the same as refined sugar. The difference is lhat fruit juices, for example, provide nutrients as well as calories whereas a soft drink gives only calories. Apart from sugar's role in tooth decay and its potential contribution to obesity, there is little evidence that directly links sugar with other disor ders. If you're feeling like you need to curb your sweet tooth, you might try some of these suggestions : Keep track of all the foods you eat and when you eat them. Could you choose to have a smaller amount or substitute something that is lower in calories or higher in nutritional value? Read labels on foods. Ingre dients are listed in order of decreasing amounts in the product. If sugar is first or second, or is listed with seve ral different names, you know it's a major percentage of the product. There's also other information there. It may read "no sugar added," which doesn't mean that there's no sugar at all but may mean that there is less than other choices, such as "heavy syrup." If the label brags about using honey, that's basically the same as sugar, so is no great advantage. Pumpkin Pudding Two-thirds cup brown sugar 1 Tbls. flour 2 tsps. cinnamon 1 tsp. ginger U tsp. cloves 1 tsp. salt 3 eggs separated 1 cup pureed pumpkin I' cups milk 1 Tbls. melted butter or margarine Mix brown sugar, flour, spices and salt together in a small bowl. Beat egg whites until stiff, but not dry, and set aside. Beat egg yolks, add dry ingredients and pumpkin. Stir in milk and butter or marga rine. Then fold in beaten egg whites. Pour into a greased l's quart baking dish, place in a pan of hot water and bake in a 375 degree oven for 45 minutes, or until custard is set. Let cool slightly and serve. Refrigerate if not to be served soon. Horns Discounts for horns of up to $2.50 per cwt. were considered significant. The discount, however, was slight for mixed groups of horned and dehorned cattle. Frame - Buyers like large framed cattle, but only 10 percent of the Kansas feeders qualified. The tallest and longest steer calves and year ling heifers brought premiums of 47 cents to 92 cents per cwt., but medium-framed yearling steers actually brought 32 cents more than large-framed ones. Discounts for small framed steer calves indicated the importance of avoiding "dumpy" feeders that mature early and reach Choice grade at low weights. Muscling - Feedlot buyers want thick, meaty cattle, es pecially in yearlings. Pre miums for thick muscling ranged from 32 cents to $1.40 per cwt., for calves to $2.33 for yearling steers. Breed No breed or cross breed monopolizes top prices, but crossbred calves get pre ference. Hereford-Angus feeders of all classes consis tently outsold either parent breed, with premiums almost equal to those paid for Charo lais, Simmental an dContinen tal crosses. Sex and weight - Steers brought the top prices for all wegiht categories. Although the steer-heifer price spread narrowed at higher weights in the Kansas study, current spreads of up to 10 to 12 cents indicate that sex ranks close to health and condition as a price factor. At heavier weights, intact bulls were dis counted up to $10 per hundredweight. Pear Apple Sauce 1 pint canned pears 2 Tbls. tapioca 2 apples, peeled and chopped 2 Tbls. sugar tsp. pumpkin pie spice tsp. lemon juice Combine pears, including juice, and tapioca in a me dium saucepan.
