It recommends home mixed rations for pasture cows and emphasizes water and salt intake, with concrete feed formulas and steps to shift to cotton production while balancing livestock needs with pasture, grain, forage, and temporary grazing.

Livestock Production Seen as Best Path to Higher Alabama Farm Income
Dean M. J. Funchess of the Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station argues livestock production offers the strongest chance to substantially raise Alabama farm income. A balanced mix of pasture, hay, agriagea, and temporary grazing forms the core of a drought-resilient feed program. He predicts income could double with expanded farm programs, though education remains crucial.

New Udder Judging Method Aims to Cut Dairy Heifer Loss
A Beltsville Research Center plan uses feel based standards to rank heifer calves by udder development at various ages. Comparing high medium and low grades with subsequent milk production shows a close match, enabling selective culling. Experts teach breeders nationwide while evaluating the system before broad use, aiming to reduce losses from unprofitable calves and reduce the $100 cost per calf raised to milking age.

Livestock Drops on U S Farms in 1944 Decline
