Calumet Farm Profits From Eight Month Grazing Program
Calumet Farm in Lexington Kentucky runs 200 head of hereford steers on 1200 acres of blue grass pastures. The cattle, shipped from Texas last April, are long yearlings grazed through November and gain about forty pounds monthly. Manager J P Erbelhardt says the eight month program yields similar net profit to a 12 month feeding plan and favors herefords for their docile temperament and ease of movement.
