Abstract

Excerpts from the report: Farmer Cooperative Service has been making a study to determine if pooling would help livestock producers solve some of their marketing problems. Pooling is a procedure in which stockmen bring their cattle or calves to a central location where they are individually graded, weighed, and penned in lots with similar animals of other stockmen. They are then sold in these uniform lots. We found much evidence that pooling feeder cattle increases prices, reduces marketing costs, and improves net returns to producers. Livestock producers, marketing agencies, and groups interested in improving the economic position of farmers therefore might find it worthwhile to investigate this method of handling feeder cattle.
