Live Stock Notes From Farmers Union
To supply more than is eaten up at once is wasteful. Excessive sweating of a horse when at work is a sign of weakness. Any livestock will depreciate in value when cut short in their rations. Wigs should be fed for bone and muscle growth rather than fat. All stock need salt and farmers should provide it. Farming pays best when producing the most manure and stock feeding is profitable for the farmer who feeds well. Generally the more condensed the products are the better the farm will pay.
