Imboden of Decatur Missouri outlines beef cattle points to a stock breeders association, praising a single breed as superior under all conditions. He notes that heavy shoulders hurt profit, inner round meat is tougher, hides indicate meat quality, and thick necks and broad hips signal premium beef.
A correspondent notes two pig temperaments. Phlegmatic pigs fatten easily for pork, but produce fat, greasy meat. Nervous pigs fatten slowly and suit bacon more, yielding lean streaks and better profit for bacon production.
