Moore County cattle feeding plant aims to modernize ranch operations
Moore County farmers explore a new cattle finishing plant at Dumas with a 120 to 140 day feeding period. Steers may reach 1050 to 1110 pounds while heifers finish around 900 to 1000 pounds. The facility includes concrete troughs, eight foot aprons, tanks, and a 240 ton feed-mill. Owners retain cattle ownership and pay seven cents per head daily for feeding. City dwellers can invest or hire a feedlot buyer to manage cattle through finish and sale. Representatives from the High Plains Foundation attend the American Society of Agronomy convention in Chicago to study research and fertilizer facilities and tour cattle and hog operations.
