C T Lierheimer urged Missouri cattlemen to capture a larger share of final sale price by feeding 650 to 700 pound feeders with locally grown silage and haulage rather than lighter weights. He cited adding 150000 pounds of beef from 1500 cattle on 200 acres with strict crop and cattle management. Alan King of Dadeville framed beef as a use for cropland.
