The Farmer’s Daily Waste and Stock Profits
The author argues profit in fattening stock comes from daily gain over waste. Daily waste equals winter hay consumption and losses in severe weather can reach about 120 pounds per four winter months. Manure is not dead loss as it enriches land for future crops, while flesh gain measures profit from grain.
