Farm-Raised, Farm-Fed Cattle Get
Bigger Share Of Consumer's Dollar
COLLEGE STATION — Cattle
producers can earn up to 54.6 per-
cent of the consumer's beef dollar
if they raise and feed their ani-
mals to slaughter weight on the
farm
Tills fact was brought out ln a
recent OSDA study on price spreads
of beef The purpose of the study
was to demonstrate distribution of
the consumer's beef dollar among
ranchers, feeders, packer-whole-
salers and retailers.
The study included six U. 8.
Choice grade steers from six state*,
ail but one going to distant re-
tailers after feeding and process-
ing, One steer, raised and fed on
the same firm, went directly to a
market close to home.
The advantage of using home-
grown feed to raise cattle to
slaughter weight on the farm was
illustrated by this steer as it net-
ted the producer 54# percent of
the consumer's beef dollar. Cattle
sold at weaning weight earned on-
ly 25.6 percent for the cattleman.
For farmers this can make a big
difference. Meat is the most im-
portant item in the consumer's
food budget, beef making up about
25 percent of this. Beef consump-
tion has increased from an average
per capita of 63.9 pounds in 1949
to 99 7 pounds in 1964. Further,
beef faces a rapidly increasing de-
mand ns incomes continue to rise.
