Breeding and Pedigrees Shape Animal Traits

Essay Contest on Farm Troubles in The North
A northern premium contest seeks essays from Minnesota Wisconsin and Michigan students on the present agricultural low mood. The piece argues low farm prices stem from job losses and reduced purchasing power, caused by factories and shops shut and imports undercutting domestic production. It asserts that an American policy to lift the mood must restore home demand and fair wages.

Protectionary Foes Fault the Free Trade Policy

Feeding cattle and hogs for pasture gains
The article argues liberal feeding rather than sustaining rations to prep spring stock for pasture. It notes grass alone won’t quickly improve gains in steers, cows with corn stover, or sows awaiting litters. Emphasizes developing muscle and flesh, avoiding fattening brood animals, and feeding milking rations before farrowing to boost litter outcomes.
