Abstract
This is a study of the characteristics of feeder calves which are associated with differences in:
- Rate of gain.
- Kind and amount of feeds required to make gain.
- 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.
