He endorses corn silage with small hay, plus oats or rye as emergency feeds, and notes favorable oat prices encourage carload purchases for southeastern Ohio flocks.

Comparisons of Summer and Winter Rations
A West Virginia self feeding experiment shows heifers gain above normal in winter then fall below normal on pasture. Grain-fed on self-feeding gained 816.5 lb winter and 85.2 lb on pasture, while hand-fed groups averaged 144 lb winter and 190 lb pasture. No grain on pasture and well fed calves improve pasture use.

Ground wheat for live stock proves satisfactory
B T Robbins extension specialist at the Minnesota Experiment Station reports coarsely ground wheat is worth as much as the same weight of shelled corn for hogs. When wheat is 74 cents a bushel and ground for 5 cents a pound, feeding wheat can pay compared with 75 cent corn, though cheaper corn remains a more economical feed for other stock.

Sorting Live Stock for Winter Growth
It is a good plan to sort live stock by size and age and handle age groups separately in winter. Better growth of young stock comes from a protein and mineral rich ration. Young stock need feeds like cottonseed or linseed meals providing equivalent protein and minerals.
