The figures for United States exports include live cattle and chilled beef, those from Argentina only chilled and frozen beef as the ports of Great Britain have been closed to live cattle from Argentina for about five years. At that time the danger of such cattle causing outbreaks of foot and mouth disease was so great that the ports were closed (May 1903) to all live cattle from Argen- tina. While the opening of the ports would undoubtedly aid the Argentine cattle raisers it is not probable that they will ever be opened again and from the standpoint of the beef producers of the south land, there is far less need for the restoration of this live cattle trade now that there are at least thirty-two steamers equip- ped with cold storage Figure 2.—Purebred but unpedigreed shorthorns,'.;La ; Only the highest grade of cattle produced in Argentina, that is the well bred and well fattened, are used for export. The best of these are chilled and the remainder frozen. Abcut 28 per cent of the beef exported from Argentina is chilled. All of the Argentine export mutton is frozen. It is estimated that Argentine slaughter- ing establishments have practically three-tenths of the killing.
