More Improved Live Stock Gains for Farmers
The rise in prices for all live stock makes it profitable for farmers to raise their own young stock for feeding rather than buy high priced beef.

Wheat bran is very animal in this ration and shops should ensure the grain mix includes two parts bran one part crushed oats one part finely ground corn meal and one half part linseed meal.
