Baby beef debate flags Iowa cattle outlook
At the Corn Belt Meat Producers meeting in Des Moines key Iowa cattle raisers heard W H Pew of Iowa State College argue baby beef offers greater economical gains than older cattle. He cited a Whit ing Ind feeding trial showing 474 lb calves gained 1.97 lb daily for 86 days against 775 lb cattle gaining 1.42 lb for 259 days, with calves needing less feed.
