 inferior feeder. As long, however, 

 demand for inferior feeders they 

 be omitted from quotations of the

Such feeders are rough and angular, largely devoid of 

 natural flesh, and possessing the conformation of dairy 

 rather than beef-bred animals. In the feedlot they are slow 

 feeders and do not make satisfactory bullocks when fat. 



Within all the grades of feeding cattle there are good 

 feeders and indifferent ones, the proportion of good ones 

 being largest in the better grades, while the proportion of 

 indifferent ones is large among the lower grades. This 

 suggests that in selecting feeding cattle, no matter of 

 what grade, great care should be exercised in selecting 

 only such as give evidence of good constitutions and 

 feeding qualities.
