Farm Cattle Feeding Yields Profit Despite Severe Winter
On the I. H. C. farm network in North Dakota and Aberdeen, a year’s profit came from feeding cattle on alfalfa and silage with grain. From January to June 1917 two carloads sold from Aberdeen and Grand Forks stock yielded a net gain of $2,084.60 plus feed costs, as cattle were fed five pounds daily then raised to about half ration. One steer died and another suffered actinomycosis. Despite a harsh January February, markets were strong by June. Costs, sales, and gains are detailed for fifty head, with prices per cwt of $8.25 to $11.25 and net price per cwt $6.69, showing overall profitability from pasture, corn, alfalfa, and manure return. The report notes increased diversification and method improvements, with alfalfa hay and corn silage fed from 25 32 acres and substantial gains per head.
