BASIS FOR CLASSIFYING AND GRADING 
Feeder and stocker cattle are divided into different classes, age- 
selection groups, weight-selection groups, and grades just as was 
done with slaughter cattle, sex condition being the basis for the 
different classes, age the basis for the different age-selection groups, 
weight the basis for the different weight -selection groups, and vary- 
ing degrees of conformation, finish, and quality the basis for the 
different grades of feeder and stocker cattle.

groups, and grades of feeder and stocker cattle would not differ 
materially from those previously given for slaughter cattle and need
