The beef cattle shortage and cattle’s ability to winter on roughage create profit opportunities for Missouri farmers. J W Burch of the Missouri College of Agriculture discusses completed experiments showing beef cows are essential on corn belt farms and explains their key role.
Experiments by the College of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Agriculture through Snn-A-Bar Farms show calves sired by purebred beef bulls earn about two dollars per hundred pounds more than scrub-sire calves. Calves at about 560 pounds gain $11.50 per head, due to better loins and cuts. Breeding stock, especially the sire, should be carefully selected. A good beef bull is masculine, short legged, deep bodied, and 15 months old before serving many cows.
