Experiment Station Advocates Baby Beef to Boost Gains
Dr. C W McCampbell of the agricultural college promotes baby beef fattening as a means to raise the nation’s beef supply and profits. He defines baby beef as 12 to 14 month old cattle weighing 750 to 900 pounds, noting pasture limits and efficiency advantages over longer-fed three year olds. A Kansas experiment showed calves on a similar ration gained 35 percent less grain and 20 percent less roughage, yielding 37 cents more net per head than big steers.
