THE BEMIDJI- DAILY PIONEER ALL AROUND | THE FARM MONEY IN BABY BEEF. Pure Bred Bull of Beef Breeding a Prime Necessity For Success. [Prepared by United States department of agriculture.] Although It takes less food to pro- duce a pound of flesh on baby beeves than on mature cattle, they sell for as high a price per pound as the best of other fat cattle. This fact and the de- mand for small high quality cuts and the increased cost of producing beef in general have fostered a rapid growth of the baby beef industry. An addi- tional advantage is that markets for baby beeves have been very stable during the past ten years. Baby The illustration shows a prime ba- by beef. Note his depth, thickness, quality and finish. This animal is & cross bred—Hereford and Short- horn. beeves may be described as well fat- tened, finished animals, weighing from 900 to 1,200 pounds and marketed when between fourteen and twenty months old. ‘The young heifers sell as well as the steers, and the returns from the money Invested in the production of such cat- tle come quicker. On the other hand, it takes more experience to succeed with baby beeves than with mature cattle, a better grade of stock is re- quired, and farm roughage cannot be substituted for grain to the same ex- tent. In a new publication of the United States department of agriculture, de- voted to this subject, Farmers’ Bulle- tin 811, it is polnted out that the first necessity for the production of baby beef is a herd that has at least a fair amount of beef blood. The cows need not be pure breds, but they should have at least two or three crosses of such blood in them. A preponderance of dairy blood will not give profitable results. The cows should, however, This pair of calves {llustrates the type approved by the pfoducers of baby beef. They have been kept growing and have not been allow- ed to lose their milk bloom. produce enough milk to keep the calves well and growing without much additional feed. A good bull will do much to offset defects in the cow herd. A good besf form and a strong tendency toward earliness of maturity are essentials. The owner's success, in fact, depends to a great extent upon the bull’s abili- ty to transmit the latter characteristic to his offspring. Money spent in &o- quiring a bull that will do this is Mke- ly to prove a good investment, for the whole baby beef industry depeads upon speed in finishing the animals for market. A herd at least large enough te pro- duce a carload of calves a year is rec ommended in the bulletin already men. tioned. Shipping in carlcad lots 1s usuglly the only economical way ef getting stock to market, from tweaty to twenty-seven baby beeves constitut- ing a carload. Some allowance mus$ of course be made for loss and for valves that are not suited for treat- ment as baby beef. Since a well ma- tured bull can easily take care of fifty or sixty cows, the bull charge per calf also will be greater when the breeding herd is small. On the other hamd, great care must be taken not to crowd the pastures. Good blue grass or clover should carry from fifty to a hundred cows on a bundred acres; other pas- tures from fifty to as low as five. The amount of available roughage is anoth- er important factor in determining the size of the breeding herd. Roughage should form the basal portion of the ration for the cows. It cannot be bought with profit at the prevailing prices, and no more cows should be kept, therefore, than the farmer cam feed with home grown roughage. 275 L-.‘mu;‘klw:;ung\;m AT
