Supply of Quality Cattle Very Limited, Says Duncan "The first essential in profitablt beef production," said Garnet H. Dun- can, livestock investigator, Ontaric Marketing Board, "is that of supply- ing' the domestic market with the quality desired by consumers. "Breeders and feeders can reach this domestic market by producing properly finished, early maturing livestock. This type meets with ready sale, and answers the requirements for government graded beef. "In my opinion, a visit to the mar- ket would definitely convince producN ers that while there is a real demand for this type of livestock, the supply is more than limited. * The House oi Quelity ^^ 4 DOZ.
