Abstract: Excerpts from the report: Seven packing plants in four midwestern States cooperated in these slaughter tests, a part of the research on transportation and handling of sheep and lambs conducted by Farmer Cooperative Service. This research, covering a 16-month period beginning in 1960, continued the series of studies dealing with livestock loss and damage begun by FCS in 1954 to help farmers and their cooperatives deal with this problem. In addition to cooperation by packers, the research had the active cooperation and participation of Livestock Conservation, Inc., and of producers, marketers, and transporters.
