De Haai Confinement Works Well in Cattle Feedlot
Monroe Iowa area farmer Dick De Haai expands confinement feeding with liquid manure as field fertilizer. He runs about 2,000 cattle, finishing them in a 600 head confinement barn since February 1974, with manure pumped from eight foot pits and spread on fields twice yearly. He employs two full time men plus seasonal help and notes high feed costs influenced by strong corn prices.
