Calves Prove More Efficient than Yearlings for Beef
The Nebraska and Iowa experiment stations emphasize calves as the most economical beef producers. A calf requires less feed per 100 pounds of beef than a two-year-old steer or a yearling, making calves especially valuable on rough pasture. For farmers with limited cultivated land, raising calves for feed lots offers reduced risk and increasing profits as pasture improves and land fertility grows. This livestock approach contrasts with grain farming, which declines in productivity over time.
