CALVES INTENDED FOR BEEF
Necessary to Give Young Animals
Grain While on Milk Diet-First
Winter Of Importance.

When you are feeding calves in
tended for beef animals you have two
methods which may be followed. You
can let the calf run with the cow or
you can remove the calf and feed him
skim milk and grains instead of giving
him the whole milk, writes L. Hunt of
Kansas in Farm Progress. In these
days of dairying the calf that is not
vealed is likely to become a skim milk
calf The youngster that runs with his
mother usually ends his first summer
in excellent flesh, while the skim milk
calf is not ) plump, but usually has
larger frame.
If you are going to make beef out of
either of these calves it is necessary to
give them grain while on a milk diet.
if it is plain that they need this extra
ration. In handling the skim milk calf
give him little oil meal while the
change from the whole to the skim
milk is under way and keep it up as he
grows older and bigger. Keep him on
the pasture and at the same time keep
up the feed of skim milk and oil meal
The Benson signal., 1915-09-25
Baby Beef.

twice daily, and along with this there
ought to be some cracked corn, bran
and ground oats.
There is not much use in feeding the
calf that is running with the cow. If
on the pasture he is getting about all
that he needs. AS a general thing it
will pay. though, to teach him to eat,
for he will have to go through the
weaving period If fed cracked grains
and kept on good pasture the calf
will learn to eat before weaving time
and will not lose much flesh when sep
arated from the cow.
The first winter is an important
period to the calf that is being grown
as a beef animal. The calf will have
to be given shelter that is more COM
Portable than the open sheds that are
being provided nowadays for the big
steers. The rations ought to be such
as to keep up rapid growth if these
calves are to be made into baby beef"
Steers sold somewhere under eighteen
months of age are rated as baby
beef"
