Beef Herd Selection Is Based On Calf Growth
Columbus be beef expert Joe Hock of Plain City watches calf gains every two weeks to pick brood cows and heifers. His data show fast growing calves yield higher profits, with some cows averaging over pounds daily. He notes pasture calved calves may slow gain and hay quality affects weight gain, while protein supplements aid daily gain. He plans to test bulls and cows with this method and cites a 683 pound cull averaging 3 pounds daily over 100 days.

Fertilizer Among Most Profitable Production Items
The Middle West Soil Improvement Committee reports that fertilizer investments yield higher cash returns today than most farm production items. A Frederick A. Hughes study shows fertilizer price indexes rose 33 points from 102 to 157 between 1935 and 1953, while all production items more than doubled. The committee cites Hughes saying cutting fertilizer out is false economy because it reduces yields and raises unit costs, making fertilizer more profitable now than in the 1930s.

K E Varney of Vermont compares birdsfoot trefoil with alfalfa, Ladino and red clover, noting trefoil’s slower seedling start, drought and wet foot tolerance, and long life. It resists root breakage from freezing cycles and tolerates waterlogged soils, aiding pasture blends with Kentucky bluegrass and tall fescue.
