Abstract: Excerpts from the report Introduction: Livestock producers and consumers of meat are concerned with the costs and efficiency with which livestock are hauled to market. The costs incurred in hauling livestock reduce producers' net returns if paid by him or increase prices for meat at retail if shifted to consumers. This report is concerned with hired motortruck transportation of livestock from the farm and ranch to the market, with particular attention to average length of haul to markets and average transportation cost per head paid by producers. This report shows variations in length of haul and "for-hire" motortruck transportation costs by species of livestock, market outlets, and regions.
