Abstract: Excerpt from the report Introduction: Briefly, this study disclosed that there is a growing western demand for meat. This, in practical effect, means a growing western demand for western-grown slaughter livestock. Other subjects discussed in this report include: (1) Surplus and deficit marketing and slaughtering areas within the West; (2) trends in decentralization of livestock slaughter in the West; (3) relative importance of livestock slaughter by type of western processor; (4) trends in western livestock slaughter under Federal inspection; (5) numbers and location of important western commercial slaughtering establishments; (6) seasonality of livestock slaughter in the West; (7) current and future demand in the West for slaughter livestock; and (8) changes in the direction of market movement for slaughter livestock in the West. These subjects are discussed for the western region as a whole, and for the principal areas within the 12 Western States—the Pacific coast, the Southwest, and the Intermountain areas.
