Mr. and Mrs, Grady C. Sin-
gletary of Alto were recip-
ients of an award presented
at the Texas Dairy Herd Im-
provement Association meet-
ing last Friday at Texas
ASiM University. Mr. and
Mrs. Singletary unable to at-
tend because of some un-
scheduled cow troubles; but
1 received for them a certi-
ficate honoring them for IS
continuous years of leader-
ship and support in official
dairy herd testing. The cer.
tificate was presented by the
Texas Agricultural Extension
Service of Texas A &.M Univ-
ersity, signed by J.W. Davis,
State Extension Dairy Spec-
ialist, and Dr. John F. Hutch-
ison, Director of the Texas
Agricultural Extension Ser-
vice. Congratulations to the
Singletarys on their recogn-
ition for helping improve the
Dairy industry in the State.
In Texas, the 1971 production
per cow for animals in DHIA
averaged 12,672 pounds of
milk and 455 pounds of fat,
up 604 pounds and 17 pounds
respectively from 1970.

What happen's in the live-
stock industry, especially
beef cattle, during the next
several years is going tobe
real interesting. I had the
opportunity last week of at-
tending a l ive Animal and
Carcass Evaluation Short,
course for County Agents at
Texas A&M University, The
group evaluated a class of
slaughter hogs, lambs, and
steers on foot. These were
killed and chilled; and then we
evaluated the carcasses and
related them hack to the live
animals.
We found that it is very dif-
ficult to determine the car-
cass quality grade based on
visual appraisal of the live
animal. This is because mar-
bling (fat deposits between
lean tissues) cannot be es-
timated accurately in the live
animal; and it carries a lot
of weight in determing car-
cass quality. Carcass qual-
ity in beef is based upon
conformation, age of the an-
imal or maturity and marb-
ling, with marbling probably
carrying the most weight
wi'hin a given age group. For
example a short yearling
steer might have prime con-
formation; Dut if the ribeyeis
practically devoid of marb-
ling, the carcass quality grade
will be standard.
How long marbling will con-
tinue to hold this importance
we Jon't know; but Dr. Frank
Orts, extension meat spec-
ialist at Texas AIM Univer-
sity says he doesn't see any
change in the immediate fut-
ure. It's too important as
a quality indicator. Of course
cattle have to be fattened to
develop marbline.. Outside fat
is laid down on the animal
first and then the marble
fat is deposited. The ability
to marble is inherited and
is one of the more highly
heritable factors beef pro-
ducers can select for. I bel-
ieve Dr. Orts indicated it is
around 655| heritable.
With the newer and larg-
er breeds coming into the
picture having slower mat-
urity and heavier finishing
weights necessary to get
choice carcass grades, we've
probably in for some interest-
ing changes in meat mer-
chandising. For instance we
hear people talk about
precut and packaged meat tak -
en from beef cuts that are too
large to retail as an individ-
ual cut. Most of our car-
casses from fed beef
weigh from 600 to 700 pounds
at present. Imagine a T-bone
steak from one twice that
size'
Yield grade is another tool
that is gaining ground in the
marketing system. In beef
cattle this means the per-
cent of boneless, closely
trimmed high priced retail
cuts in the carcass-round,
loin, rib, and chuck. Fac-
tors that influence yield are
size of the ribeye between the
12th and 13th rib, fat thickness
over the ribeye, percent
heart, pelvic and kidney fat
and carcass weight. Rib.'
eye is used as an indicator
of muscling. Yield grade
ranges from 1 (about 54%
of the carcass being high
priced cutsX With a given

PUBLIC VS. PRIVATE BARGAINING
There is a vital difference between public and private
employment bargaining.
In the private sector employees have the right to strike
and employers are empowered to "lock out" as the ulti-
mate terminal points in disputes.
In the public sector, negotiation between government
and its employees is and must be different.
Government employees do not have—and in the nature
of government employment, should never have—recourse
to the strike as a weapon against the government. Nor
should government officials have the freedom, or the
power to "lock out" government employees in order to
nring economic pressure to bear on them.
Governments at each level, in most cases, have been en-
lightened employers and have kept salaries comparable
to the private sector.
Duly elected representative bodies have the sole right
and responsibility to raise and appropriate revenues for
all government operations including the salaries of gov*
ernment employees. Any process which counteracts or in-
terferes with this democratic system must be rejected.
amount ot fat finish, the bet-
ter muscled steers tend to
have higher yield grades.
There is notnecessarlyapos-
tive relationship between
quality grade and yield grade.
A prime animal that is ex-
tremely fat and wa'Jty might
have a yield grade 5, while
a prime carcass that is very
trim with thin fat cover and
little fat waste might have a
yield grade of 1.
Dr. Orts says that most
buyers today are looking for
animals that will have carcass
quality grades from high good
to middle choice and will be a
yield grade from 1 through S.
