dc.description.abstract |
The previous tests with heifer calves have been completed. Pasture
was not used in these tests but instead, heifer calves were fed a full
feed of grain, three-fourths feed, one-half feed, one-fourth feed and no
grain, respectively with silage and a protein supplement. As a result
of these tests it was determined that for heifer calves which are to
be full fed grain in the dry lot or which are to be grazed 75 to 100 days
and then full fed grain for approximately 100 days, two to two and
one-half pounds of grain in the winter ration will produce enough
flesh to result in U. S. Good carcasses after 100 days of full feeding,
yet not too much flesh to justify grazing 75-100 days before full feeding.
Beginning with this, the fourth test, a study was initiated to determine
the best way to utilize bluestem and brome grass in fattening
heifers. |
