GRAPHS MIS8041.CHT THROUGH MIS8046.CHT - AVERAGE GRADE PER ANIMAL

This graph is similar in some ways to MIS8001.CHT (which graphed average edible weight/animal). For all 3 sites there are pronounced seasonal fluctuations, with top grade in June and lowest grade in December.

Arusha is the highest quality, with a peak of 1.05 grade average and a trough of 1.75 in December; Moshi is next with 1.6 peak and 2.1 trough; Dar is last with 1.7 peak and 2.1 trough.

Arusha and Dar are steady over the period 1989 - 1994, but Moshi has made a spurt in 1994, breaking out of its normal 1.6 - 2.1 annual cycle to hit a peak of 1.3.
