Beef producers urged to grow profits via calves and breeding
Rex Beresford argues a beef cattle shortage exists as US cattle in 1921 ran about a fourth below 1920. He says marketings rose last year due to tight finances, but long term growth depends on breeding calves. Feeds are cheap, calves high, and pasturing two cows per acre on clover is feasible, making beef production viable even on good crop land.
