CATTLE FOR BEEF.
The Various Breeds and Conditions
Best Suited to Each.

At the Minnesota Live Stock Breed
ers' association meeting Professor
Shaw in the paper that he read upon
the subject said that on given area
of farming land it will be found that
when the prices of beef are relatively
high a greater profit can be obtained
from cattle kept for milk or for milk
and meat than for meat only. But the
fact remains, says Prairie Farmer,
that even on some farms, if cattle are
to be grown at all, they must be grown
for meat production only. The condi.
tons that relate to labor are such that
COWS cannot be MIXED nor can the
milk be cared for in the best fashion.
Some of these have large pastures, and
on others the pasture is limited, al
though other food is grown in great
abundance. Under these conditions
which bred should be kept? -Four
breeds will fill the bill reasonably well,
but not equally well. These are the
Shorthorn, Hereford, Aberdeen-Angus
and Galloway. Under the conditions
first named-that is, when the areas of
pasture are large and of cultivated
land-small Galloways will probably
fill the bill better than the others.
Especially will this be true where the
animals are considerably exposed in
rough weather. The dams may be of
mixed breeding, the sires being Gallo
way. The young animals would suck
their dams, and at eighteen months or
at thirty months would be sold for
fattening on farms where the neces-
sary foods can be grown. High grade
Galloways fatten well and produce
meat that is eagerly sought in. good
markets. On the second class of farms
named the Aberdeen-Angus would
probably prove the most satisfactory
because Of the excellence of the meat
produced. But when grown under
such conditions the aim should be to
grow meat of the best quality. The
young animals should be pushed along
from birth and put upon the market
at from twenty-four to thirty months.
They should never be allowed to stand
still in growth or to become lean in
flesh. This means that they must get
all the food they want and varied in
kind and whenever they need it. The
profit comes through the excellence of
the meat product and the good price
1t brings because of high finish.
