Journal of the ASFMRA, 2006, vol. 2006, 7

Abstract: Data are pooled and analyzed to differentiate the value between "packer" and "feeder" type cattle. Results indicate that the value of animals entering the stocker and feeding stages of the industry are sensitive to gender, color, breedtype, body condition, and the presence or absence of brands and/or horns.
