Advantages OF
Ba by B e e {

Professor r. S. Shaw of the Michigan
Agricultural college says in Michigan
Farmer:
According to our understanding of
the term baby beef, it was primarily
intended to apply to well finished
steers and heifers at twelve months
of age or thereabout and ranging in
weight from 900 to 1000 pounds Two
tion-the animal must be young and it
must be we'll finished.
The chief advantage is that of
economy in production. Tie fact that
the most economical gains are made in
early life has been established beyond
a doubt.
From a purely financial standpoint
the producer secures an advantage in
that the returns from animals finished
as baby beeves come back to him one
third to one-half sooner than when the
animals are matured and marketed at
from twenty-five to thirty months of
age, and the returns are proportionate-
ly greater.
Where baby beef is produced the
pastures can be devoted almost solely
to the use of the producing females-in
fact, utilized entirely by cows-whereas
their numbers would have to be re-
duced from one-third to one-half by
the yearlings, two-year-olds and pos
sibly some three year-olds.
When baby beef is successfully pro-
duced no periods of stagnation occur
in the progress of their development
such as happen so frequently in the
case Of the yearlings or two-year-olds
being sswintered over
Another decided advantage is found
in the fact that no market discrimina-
ton has been made against heifers of
this class, whereas such has been the
custom with those of more advanced
age.
Grain used in baby beef production
will be from 80 to 100 per cent more
productive than when fed to mature
animals, and the produce of the former
has hitherto commanded price fer
beneath the latter on the market.
AS the finishing takes place before
maturity it is possible TO control i'll
some measure the relative develop
mentS of flesh and fat.
