MARKETING OF TIIE CALVES. 



As previously stated, the experiment closed after the morning feed 

 of July 8, the final weights being taken between 10:00 and 11:00 a. m. 



That evening only one-half of the regular feed of concentrates was 

 fed to each lot. The regular amount of silage was allowed all lots 

 and the regular amount of hulls was fed to Lot -4. More than the 

 usual amount of Sudan hay Avas fed, hoAvever; Lot 4, as well as the 

 .others, nceiving it. The morning of July 9, the calves Avere not fed, 

 but about (5:00 o'clock Avere driven to the shipping pens, a distance of 

 one mile. By 8:30 a. m. they were loaded on the cars for shipment 

 ,to the Fort Worth market. They arrived at the stock yards about 

 4:00 a. m. July 10, and were unloaded by 5:40. They Avere supplied 

 wator and hay between 7 :30 and 8 :00, and by 9 :00 a. m., were sold 

 to Armour & Company. By 9 :30 they had passed over the scales. The 

 prir-es received Avere as follows : 



Lot 1 : 12 calves $9.50 per hundred pounds. 



Lot 2:10 calves 9.50 per hundred pounds. 



Lot 2 : 2 calves 9.00 per hundred pounds. 



Lot 3 : 12 calves 9.50 per hundred pounds. 



Lot 4: 10 calves 9.50 per hundred pounds. 



Lot 4: 2 calves 9.00 per hundred pounds. 



The two calves in each of Lots 2 and 4 that sold for $9.00 per hun- 

 dredweight AA T ere not as good individuals nor as Avell finished as the 

 others: hence the lower price received for them. The packers evidently 

 saAv little difference on foot in the lots after these four calves Avere 

 eliminated.
