Alfalfa and Barley Feed Boosts Oregon Cattle
An eastern Oregon cattle feeder reports on fattening steers with rolled barley fed in the bottom of alfalfa racks. The practice increased solid fat, reduced the beef’s “pounchy” look, and raised sale price by about 30 cents a pound on prime style cattle. Net per-head profit and weight gains supported the method as a regional feeding advance. Also note a local ad for Bees Laxative Cough Syrup from A. C. Koeppen & Bros.
