Kansas is surpassed only by Texas in total sorghum acreage and
production. A large part of this acreage consists of the type that has
a short stalk and is, therefore, suitable for harvesting the grain with a
combine. This means that there is a large amount of the grain available
for feeding livestock.
This experiment was planned to study the relative value of corn and
milo grain in the fattening ration of beef cattle. Rate of gain, feed
consumption, economy of gain, dressing percentage, carcass grade, and
degree of marbling were used to make comparisons.
