forty-five cows and feeding twelve
steers, II any. / told him he could
make a pound of butter as cheaply
as a pound Of beef. or course. he
didn't believe 1t at first, as ne wat a
beef man. but he got to thinking about
dt and tested it out. picking out twelve
steers and twelve cows that he Thought
was a good average
AT the end OF a four weeks test he
had learned that he could produce a
pound Of butterfat for even less than
he could a pound of beef. and. of
course. there Is no comparison between
the value Of pound of butterfat and
a pound Of beef.
Fifteen years ago, when beef on The
hoof brought nearly as much as II does
today, and butterfat was so much
cheaper, feeding steers was a good
dead more profitable than 1t is today.
Statistics show that the demand tor
