Excerpt from Wintering Beef Cattle in the Appalachian RegionThe winter feed bill is the greatest problem facing cattlemen in every beef producing area. The winter feed costs generally consti tute two thirds of the yearly cost. It 1s therefore important to feed a combination of feeds that will produce satisfactory results at the lowest cost.Grass should be depended on to produce the bulk of gain in weight.Beef cattle that make large winter gains do not gain so much on grass the following summer as those that have made only slight gains or maintained their weig ht durin the winter. It 1s desirable to have calves and yearlings put on ?rom 50 to 75 pounds during the winter, but it is not necessary for older cattle to make any appreciable gain.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
