(Reprinted from National Hog Farmer) The housewife will buy 7 per cent more of the lean kind of pork from meat- _ type hogs and she is willing to pay more x Sane for it, according to the results of an In- diana research project. Purdue University marketing specia- lists, in reporting on their extensive Tend- R-Leen study, said it showed that con- sumers would buy about 7 per cent more pork at the same price if it was of the meat-type variety. There was greater pre- ference for meat-type hams and bacon ~ than there was for meat-type pork chops. _ This may be explained in that pork chops can be trimmed, while hams and bacon can not. When meat-type pork was sold at a higher price alongside regular pork, it was found that 40 cents of each pork dol- lar was spent on Tend-R-Leen pork, while 60 cents was spent on regular pork. Throughout. the study, sales of Tend- R-Leen pork were compared with the average pork on the meat counter and not with any specially sorted fat pork. Jim Stevenson, extension economist in marketing, reported on the retailing phase, which he directed, Norton Smith, also an extension econ- omist in marketing at Purdue, supervised . finding the meat-type hogs and the car- casses. He reported that his part of the study - Indicated: : 1, Accuracy of live grading increased from about 65 per cent at the beginning of the project to 85 per cent at the end. 2. Meat-type hogs yielded approxi- mately the same percentage of carcass as . did the average run of hogs at the packing plant = ; 3. Hogs graded meat-type alive but re- jected in the carcass because they were too fat averaged 29 pounds more alive than those that yielded meat-type carcasses, emphasizing the factor of marketing hogs at proper weights to secure meat-type pork, 10-Week Test The Tend-R-Leen study was a cooper- ative venture of Purdue and the Produc- ers Marketing Association and was joint- ly financed by the two. It was conducted last fall and winter. Cooperating also were the Emge Packing Co. at Anderson, Ind., which Slaughtered the hogs and the Marsh Foodliner Co., Yorktown, Ind., which sold the Tend-R-Leen pork in its stores in Mun- cie, Ind., and made its records on meat Sales available. The actual test involved sale of Tend- R-Leen pork in the Muncie stores for 10 weeks, The hogs were sorted by the Produ- cers association and by Emge and slaugh- tered separately. The carcasses were graded and the cuts were checked. The five primal cuts were kept separate. The meat-type pork, under the Tend-R-Leen label, was the only pork available in the test stores during the 10-week period. Sales of the Tend-R-Leen during that 10-week period in relation to pork sales wives \ week period were th 0 the change in pork sales during the same periods in other Marsh stores which were used as control stores. ee Those figures show that while total meat sales in pounds increased in both the test and control stores during the study they increased more in the test stores, 8.8 per cent to 4.7 per cent. Beef and veal sales were down in both groups but less in the test stores. Poultry sales, as the result of an ex- tensive sale on chicken, were greatly in- creased in both groups, but the increase during the second 10-week period was not as great in the test stores as in the control stores. i Pork shoulder sales were off in both groups but only slightly in the test stores and 5.8 per cent in the control group. Pork loin sales were down in both groups, slightly more in the test stores than in the control stores. Ham sales increased 17.1 percent in the Tend-R-Leen stores compared to an in- crease of 1.8 percent in the control stores. __ Bacon sales were 1.3 per cent less for the Tend-R-Leen but were off 11.2. per cent in the other stores. On total pounds of pork sold, the Tend- R-Leen stores showed an increase of 4.7 per cent compared to a decrease of 2.6 per cent for the control stores, or a dif- ference of 7.3 per cent. A comparison of sales of Tend-R-Leen bacon during the last 5 weeks of the study with the first 5 weeks showed that sales of the meaty product increased 18.8 per cent during the last half of the study | - which would be an indication of repeat business, The same comparison of other brands of bacon showed a drop of 10.7 per cent during the last 5 weeks. The study of whether consumers would -pay more for Tend-R-Leen pork ran for 4 weeks in the five Muncie stores. The Tend-R-Leen was sold along side regular pork products, after the 10-week study. It was priced at a difference ranging up to 20 cents a pound for hams. However, Tend-R-Leen hams were semi-boneless while regular hams had the bones in.
