Book excerpt: Excerpt from State and Federal Marketing Activities and Other Economic Work, Vol. 16: July 1, 1936 Complaints that farmers are shipping sunburned veal calves are being made by livestock buyers on terminal markets. Farmers must take less money for these animals, it is stated, since consumers do not want sunburned veal. Marketing specialists C. W. Hammans of Ohio State Uni versity says that calves which are exposed to the sun actually are sun burned so that the meat appears red when the calves are slaughtered. This appearance may not injure the food value, but it does prevent con sumers from buying the veal, says Hammans. This Ohio marketing specialist points out also that hot weather affects the size of meat cuts which consumers will buy, and that calves weighing from 150 to 175 pounds are most likely to bring top prices dur ing this period. After July and August, calves that weigh 175 to 200 pounds will again bring good prices, he says. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
