This is a study of the characteristics of feeder calves which are
associated with differences in:
1. Rate of gain.
2. Kind and amount of feeds required to make gain.
3. Value of the carcass.
The two lots of calves were selected from 100 range-bred heifer
calves purchased in November 1947 for feeding tests at this station.
These calves graded good to choice feeders and were quite uniform.
