Southern range cattle feed well in Iowa experiments
Fifty head of western Colorado steers and Mitty cattle from Oklahoma and Indian Territory were tested at the Iowa Station to compare gains. Southern cattle grew and fattened as fast as western cattle, showing they can be fed directly in Iowa with economy equal to or better than western cattle. Southern cattle tended to mature early and finish at lighter weights, making them desirable when light finished cattle are needed.
