The Flow of Meat
Two-thirds of the live stock in the
United States has to be raised in
the West.
One-half of the consumers of meat
live in the East.
In other words, most of the live
stock is one or two thousand miles
distant from most of the people who
need it in the form of fdod.
Fifty years ago, when live stock was
raised close to every consuming cen
ter, the country butcher could handle
the job after a fashion.
But the job got too big.
Now millions of animals have to be
moved hundreds of miles to millions of
people. Somewhere on the way they
have to be turned into meat.
The packers solved the problem.
They set up plants where the "live
haul" and the "meat haul" were in
the right balance. They built up
distributing systems refrigerator cars,
refrigerating plants, branch houses.
They saved time, money and meat
everywhere. The stockraiser bene
fited in better markets and higher
prices; the consumer, in better meat
and lower prices.
As the country grew, the packers
had to grow, or break down. Because
of its present size and efficiency,
