Steers Receiving Supplementary Cot.
tonseed Cake on Pasture Gained
1888 Pounds Apiece Daily.

butchered inspection showed that the
steers which were fed cottonseed, cake
or mixture of cake and corn with
pasture dressed out higher than the
cattle which had pasture alone.
While the steers that had pasture
alone made gains cheaply, the total
gains were not large, and the steers
did not take on high finish. Their
unfinished condition is reflected in the
small margin on which they were sold
and low dressing percentages. Thus
the profits they returned were smaller
than for the steers in the other two
groups.
The cost Of gains of steers on pas,
ture is greatly increased by feeding
cottonseed cake, it was found, but the
better market price received for cake,
fed cattle usually pays for the addi-
tional cost of feeding cake, and re,
turns a greater average profit than
is realized on the CRASHED cattle. One
of the distinct advantages of supple
menting pastures for concentrates is
the fact that steers so handled can be
finished more quickly and can be mar
keted earlier than steers getting grass
alone. Thus the cattle can be sold be-
fore the rush of CRASHED cattle gluts
the market and depresses prices.
Moreover, when cattle are marketed
early, the pastures have time to re-
cuperate and furnish good grazing for
other stock during the fall.
There is only one case, says the bull,
letin, when pasture alone is prefera-
bic to pastures with concentrates.
Steers Of inferior quality may return
more profit by grazing alone than by
grazing with the addition of supple.
mentary feeds, especially when they
are on good pastures that are cheap.
Scrub steers do not respond readily
to the use of good feeds, and even
when well finished do not command
satisfactory prices in competition with
well-bred cattle similarly finished. The
better the quality of the steers, the
safer it is to give them high-priced
feeds.
