whonthe farmer only receives 30 cents or less this is a question which often putties the consumer this question was dlscussedi recently with members of the royal winter fair livestock jud ging teams by a packer and a representative from the meat packers council of canada fol lowing is a breakdown of a 1000 lb choice grade steer sold for 30 cents a pound or 300 the packer receives at present 15 per cent of the total value of the animal for the byproducts these include the hide edible fat liver tongue blood heart tripe etc the average cost of killing and processing the steer is approximately 19 per cent of the cost thus crediting the steer with the value of the by products and adding on tho costs of processing the value of the carcass is now 312 during the past year the valuo of byproducts has declined by almom so per cent with nor mal or high prices for bypro ducts the packer can sell the carcass to the retailer at a lower cost than is paid to tho farmer for the live animal with the normal dressing per centage of 57 per cent the car cass of 570 lb would be worth 54 cents a pound the front quarter weighs 52 per cent of the total weight of the side of beef or 148 pounds and could be offered to the retailer at 45 cents a pound tho rear quarter at 137 pounds could be offered at 65 cents a pound this would give a combined valuo of the beef side of 54 cents a pound when
