FATTENING RANGE LAMBS. 



35 



DRESSED PERCENTAGE. 



The percentage of dresseck meat yielded by the various lots 

 cannot be said to have depended in any definite way upon the rations 

 which were fed. The lower percentage yielded in the second test 

 was probably due to the fact that the lambs were not so fat as those 

 fed in 1905-06, and, possibly, to some extent, to some difference in 

 the amount of wool carried by the lambs. 





PLATE VII. 



Representative carcasses, not intended to show any difference due to feeding. 



Dressed percentages given in Table X apply to carcasses 



dressed as shown in cut. 



COMMERCIAL CONSIDERATIONS. 



The cost of feeder lambs and of feeds has a direct and impor- 

 tant bearing upon the fattening of lambs. The feeder of livestock 

 should study market conditions and should know how various 

 changes in them affect his operations.
