Cattle Industry Trends Toward Grassland Areas
The cattle industry follows natural grass regions, using nutritious grazing as a base for production. It includes milk fat and feeder calves, baby beef, pasture and feed-lot finishing, and registered stock for herd improvement.

Fire prevention on the farm stresses pressurized water systems
A plumbing and heating industries bureau says running water under pressure is a highly effective farm fire preventive. Sprinkling a few gallons early beats wasting thousands after a blaze starts.
