1 Seletion for Inrease Marbling Floria is primarily a ow-alf prouing state, that markets most of the alves as stokers an feeers to western feeing areas for growing an finishing in feelots an then slaughtering an proessing in nearby major meat paking plants. Feelot operators esire feeer attle that will finish uniformly with enough marbling for a quality grae that is aeptable to the Davi L.
