Cattle Feeders Hear Outlook For 1937
Seventy five members of the Cherokee county Beef Cattle Feeders association met in the K of P hall Friday to discuss the 1937 outlook and substitute feeds for corn. Rex Beresford of Iowa State College outlined molasses and yeast feeds and demonstrated roughage preparation. Tom Fife of Sioux City predicted a late summer fall cattle shortage and a sharp price rise due to 14 percent fewer cattle on feed than a year ago. A similar meeting is planned for March. County Agent C H Thompson presided. W A Allen of Afton was group chairman.
