A typical beef steer is blocky and
compact; has short, deep body,
short, thick neck. short straight legs,
straight back and underline, an abun-
dance OF width from one end to the
other. plenty of scale and a feeders
head and eye" The skilled feeder
buyer paws much more attention to
the head than the inexperienced buy
er would deem necessary, especially
with stock cattle, which are not filled
out sufficiently to judge as to their
future development and probable form
when flushed. He will also realize
at first glance whether or not the
eye is one that indicates quiet and
contented disposition.
The mead should be broad. short,
with full forehead. strong jaw. large

either coarseness or delicacy. II such
a head Is found on a steer in feeder
condition. it is usually guarantee
that he will make good use OF feed
and develop into a thick, blOcky indi-
vidual when finished. A thick, short
neck is desirable. not because OF its
intrinsic value but because II usually
indicates a thick carcass.
A short. straight back indicates
strong muscular development and a
tendency to mature early. Other
things being equal, the steer with the
broadest and thickest back will be
the most valuable as the highest
priced cuts of meal are taken from
the back and loin.

MAKE BEEF RAISING
PAY YOU A PROFIT
Factors Which and Of Feeders
BY J.E

The production of cattle which will
return profit both to the producer
and the feeder. is a problem which
deserves careful attention. 1t is easi-
ly possible to buy cattle which have
been produced at loss and fatten
them at a profit, but the aim OF the
most thoughtful and intelligent men
engaged in the beef cattle business
is to encourage the production of a
grade of cattle which will return n
profit when sold as feeders without
diminishing the profits in finishing
them. In producing such cattle the
particular system to be followed
should be determined by the size. 10
cation and adaptability of the farm.
