Breeding and Feeding Cattle for the Common Farmer
Jacob Funk argues that small, hands on farms gain more from cattle by selecting well bred sires and focusing on beef production. He urges choosing thoroughbreds or high quality grades, emphasizes early market readiness and efficient feeding, and cites fat stock show gains to prove profitability of early, well managed cattle.

Proper steer feeding for profit and breed improvement
The article argues weight targets for steers to maximize profit, urging 1,400 to 1,500 pounds by 24 to 30 months, warns against feeding to under 1,000 pounds, and criticizes wintering losses. It emphasizes using thoroughbred sires, improving stock quality, consulting journals and fairs, and avoiding inferior stock while stressing efficient feeding and management.
