More cattle on feed than usual in Iowa this year
Iowa State College economists report farmers in Iowa and five other Corn Belt states have brought in more feeder cattle this year than any year since 1920. They note heavier movement of lightweight 500 to 700 pound cattle, ample roughage, and the prospect that 1941 beef cattle could rise in quality despite increased supply. Improved consumer demand may offset the supply rise.

Newborn Calf Advice From Iowa State Expert
Dairyman E N Hansen of Iowa State College says newborn calves start best when allowed to nurse their dams for several days. First milk or colostrum helps digestion and immunity. At 2 to 4 days old, calves may be bucket-fed with fresh warm milk, three times daily, with careful cleaning to prevent digestive issues. Underfeeding is safer than overfeeding. guideline is one pound of milk per ten pounds of calf weight. Mrs. Gertrude Hegg of Decorah celebrates her 100th birthday.
