Raising Cattle o nthe Farm
IT. H. Shaw

In many parts of the west, farmers
are feeding cattle the present winter
that they do not own. Men living in
towns have bought cattle on the out
lying ranges and have arranged with
farmers to feed them on alfalfa in
their corrals and pastures. The price
allowed to the farmer is s. a ton for
the alfalfa and from SO to 81 an acre
for the tops of the sugar beets when
they enter into the proposition. Why
tshould farmers not feed it to their
/ own cattle reared upon their own
places.
/ Ask these men why thew sell their
hay thus and they will answer first,
that they do not own the cattle and
second that they have no range on
(which to grow them. Why should they
not have cattle? Is it not because they
have not raised them? They have
not tried to raise them because they
have concluded that they will make
more money by selling their pro-
ducts direct for shipment The idea
THAT they cannot grow cattle with pro
fit because they have no range is Ger
tainly fallacious. Farmers who have
irrigated land are in an excellent po-
sition to grow pasture. because of the
immense production which they can
thus get.
One acre of irrigated land should
furnish pasture for one animal for not
less than eight or nine months where
the winters are not severe. In valleys
and on the western slope the weather
is not usually severe after this time
of year. The production that may be
obtained from such lands in pasture is
certainly large. whether devoted to the
growing of beef, mutton or pork. or TO
the production of dairy products.
There should be no real difficulty.
therefore on irrigated land in grow
ing livestock from birth to maturity. if
females. or from birth until ready to
market II males. When alfalfa is sold
and fed on the ranch at the present
prices for meat. IL is sold too cheaply.
Should the alfalfa be baled and sold at
somewhat better price. but the re
sultant fertilizer is then lost to the
fields. The aim should be not to sell
it. but to feed 1t. Suppose that the
grower ships II in one case and in
the other case he makes II into butter
and ships the butter, he will find that
he will pay for about "a pounds of
freight on the alfalfa instead of the
freight that he will pay on one pound
of butter.
