Prairie cattle farming shifts toward grass finishing
An Iowa correspondent argues farmers should finish cattle on grass after wintering, boosting value by moving from grain feeding to pasture. He notes rising eastern demand and narrowing price gaps between stock and fat steers, urging broader use of grass and open winters to raise quality native cattle for markets, while warning against overreliance on western feedyards.

It cites neglect by settlers in Illinois, Iowa, and Nebraska, blaming perceived unprofitability and lack of immediate returns, with a humorous Dutch farmers’ analogy to explain the inertia.
