Book Description
Excerpt from A Comparison of Concentrates for Fattening Steers in the South The steers used in this work were bought during the fall months after having been on pasture during the summer without other feed. They were placed in the cotton and cornstalk fields until the feeding was begun and were given a small allowance of cold-pressed cottonseed cake. Nearly all the 75 steers used in the test were horned when purchased. They were dehorned two weeks prior to the beginning of the experiment. Individual weights of the steers were obtained on November 30 and December 1. After weighing on the second day the steers were divided into three lots of 25 each and started on feed. The division was made so as to have the three lots as nearly equal In weight and quality as possible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
