Dwarfs into Sausage. Dwarfs mated to dwarfs produce all dwarfs, but although dwarfs are potentially fertile, they rarely reach breeding age. Many are born dead or die soon after birth. Those that live to maturity grow about half the size of normal beef cattle. They wheeze and stagger; their bellies swell, and they often die of bloat. Dwarf beef is of poor quality. Most dwarfs that go to market are ground into sausage...
Cattle have always produced a few dwarfs, just as humans do. But stunted cattle were never common until about seven years ago, when they began to increase alarmingly in all three leading beef breeds-Shorthorn, Hereford and Aberdeen Angus. The increase has continued ever since...

So no one knows how many there are. Estimates of the proportion of dwarfs in beef breeds have gone as high as 7%. Some unfortunate herds have produced 12%, and the figures might be higher if cattlemen did not conceal their monsters. Considerably less than 12% of dwarfs can bankrupt a cattleman...
...meat, merit only refutation. It seems extremely unlikely that more qualified cooks could substantially improve the quality of nay meal which must be served to 4000 men over a two-hour period. The suggestion that the $10,000 surplus in dining hall funds be spent on better cuts of beef is well-intentioned, as is the report itself, but would give each undergraduate only one steak dinner a year, hardly a monumental change...
...dollar-starved Bolivia, the free rate of exchange has slid to 6,800 bolivianos to the dollar, and local price inflation, though high, has not kept up. Result: anyone paid in dollars can buy beef filets for 11? a lb., rice for 2? a lb., gasoline for 5? a gal., cooking oil 4? a qt. A maid's salary runs from $1.50 to $2.50 a month; an average taxi ride costs 5? -no tip expected...
