Army StudiesCattle Protest

By the Associated Press

A protest by Virginia cattle-men against a new Army policy

of buying lighter-weight beefcarcasses was taken up with theArmy yesterday by Representa-tive Harrison, Democrat, of Vir-ginia. .

Mr. Harrison sard he was ad-vised the new policy calls forbuying carcasses weighing from500 to 700 pounds instead offrom 700 to 900 pounds.

Cattlemen have written Mr.Harrison the smaller weightrange would seriously hamperthe marketing of grass-fed cattlefrom Virginia.

Grass-fattening for the lowerrange weights is not practical,Mr. Harrison said he was in-formed.

In a letter to Maj. Gen. K. L.Hastings, quartermaster general,Mr. Harrison said that thechange “appears to work a dis-tinct hardship” for Virginia cat-tlemen. The policy change, headded, would "eliminate virtuallyall grass-fed cattle.”

No problem appears to be in-volved in the change for cattle-men marketing grain-fed cattle,Mr. Harrison said.

Letters from Virginia FarmBureau Federation officials andothers, he added, have protestedthe change.
