SUBDIVISIONS CF CALF SCHEDULE 
Calves are divided into three classes—steer, heifer, and bull (figs. 
8 and 9). ‘This segregation is made because, although as a group 
they have not attained an age where sex condition exerts a material 
influence on conformation, finish or quality, stocker and feeder 
buyers discriminate against bull and heifer calves anticipating dis- 
crimination against them when they are resold at a later date. It 
should be added, however, that at central markets comparatively 
few bull calves are offered for sale, most producers finding it un- 
economical to allow their males, aside from the few required for 
breeding stock, to remain uncastrated until they reach the calf 
stage
