New Calf Ration Proves Effective Across Regions
A March 1929 introduction of the New Jersey dry mixed calf formula shows success in Oregon and other areas. Calves start with milk for 30 days then switch to a grain mix plus hay and water, rising to about 5 pounds daily by five months. Water, grain quality, and clean feed are stressed as key. Beaufort County hog sales reach 101,888.10, and nitrogen top-dressing for cotton and corn proves profitable per county demonstrations.
