Number Chickens Raised on Farms Is Lowest in 32 Years

Iowa's 1955 chicken production is estimated at 36 917 000 birds, the lowest in 32 years since 1924. National figures show 524 449 000 young chickens, down 15 percent from last year, with declines across all regions. 1956 forecast expects smaller laying flocks and higher chick purchases offset by reduced egg and feed costs.

Price-based calf marketing plans and feeding tips

The article compares two marketing plans for calves after weaning. Plan one focuses on light feeders sold after creep feeding for higher price per pound, plan two sells lightweight finished beef quickly. It advises that creep feeding offers no advantage if calves are wintered on roughage and then finished as yearlings. For fall feeders or baby beeves, suggested rations include half corn and oats or straight corn with soy meal, plus a small daily protein supplement of oilseed meal per calf.
