Abstract
Although we were at one time heavy exporters of cattle and beef, our shipments have dwindled to practically nothing, except that we still sell large quantities of oleo oil, a cattle product. Pork and lard exports are substantial, and we are the largest surplus producers of these products in the world. Lamb and mutton exports are unimportant, although at one time we exported large numbers of live lambs. It should be realized that live stock is raised all over the world and that all nations encourage its production. Even most of the industrial nations produce at least a part of their meat requirements. There is also a tendency for the people of individual nations to limit their meat consumption to the amounts they produce. The result is that the amount of meat entering into international trade is small as compared with the total world production.
