Kansas State experts outline eight strategies to trim annual maintenance costs from 300 to 350 dollars per cow. They urge pregnancy checks, strategic sorting by age and condition, cost comparisons of hay and protein supplements, selective use of urea, alternate feeding days, using stored feed wisely with season, proven supplementation, and aligning forage quality with cow stage and weather to maintain calf production.

Boom Bust Expected For Hog Industry
Kansas State extension analyst Mike Sands says a full boom is unlikely despite profit returns. Hog inventories are at nine year lows, with modest breeding herd growth possible in 1985 but credit constraints linger. Prices may rise into early 1985 then ease. producers should monitor slaughter figures to time expansions.
