Abstract

HE carcass grade and weight method of selling livestock has recently evoked considerable interest among marketing researchers of the corn belt area. The successful experiences of the Canadians, who first adopted the carcass method of selling hogs on an optional basis in 1934 and made its application general in 1940, have led many agricultural economists and animal husbandmen to raise the question of whether or not such a system would net significant advantages over the present live weight method in this country. As a result, investigations are being carried on presently at a few midwestern institutions.
