A study of factors influencing rate of gain, quantity of feed consumed and carcass grade, 1947-48.

Bell, F.W.; Mackintosh, D.L.; Pickett, A.G.
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.
