Farmers in this region fatten cows mainly for home use and local sale. Pumpkin and potato feed are common, with gluten meal and bran as supplements to improve tenderness and richness.

The piece also notes twigs as cattle feed, a New York horse show reference, and practical farming tips on feed efficiency and horse care.
