Show Markets Discriminate Against Heifer Calves Tlie market seems to discriminate against heifer calves and apparently quotes higher prices for steer calves of equal finish and quality. Very often such difference in market price results from the fact that the heifer calves have been ou full feed too long. If they had been marketed u() or 00 days sooner, they would have returned a greater profit. Heifer calves, which are full fed on grain as long as steer calves, will carry more surface fat as well as more internal fat. Their carcasses are not so desirable. |
