According to cost Of production In
vestigations conducted by the United
States department Of agriculture In
cooperation with the University Of
Nebraska in parts of Nebraska during
the past two years, the average cost
Of corn-fed cattle laid down at mar
ket was $14.91 per hundredwelght for
2,298 head fed In the winter of 1918
10, 1888 for 3,041 cattle in a survey
study during the winter Of 10000,
and an average of $3.50 for an add
tional 795 cattle upon which detailed
cost figures were secured during the
same winter. The costs upon some
droves were found to vary widely from
these average figures, with the major
portion going to market the first win
ter (1018-19) carrying an expense bill
of from $13 to $18 a hundredwelght,
while In $1,000 the costs of most Of
the cattle were between $11 and SIT.
The facts thus far brought out by the
investigation would indicate that dur
ing the past two years, In the district
covered by the survey, cattle feeding
was a %precarlous venture, more likely
to be improbable than not. There
was ar average loss per head of $3.17
on the cattle for which records were
obtained In 191S-19, and of $1,000 and
$14.57 on two groups for which rec

Feeding Plays Minor Part.
The greater part of the Nebraska
cattle covered In the survey work OF
1850 made their gains at a cost Of
from 20 to 85 cents per pound, with
extremes ranging from II to 4S cents,
while Of the cattle covered the next
year the greater part made their gains
at from Is to IS cents per pound, with
IN extreme range Of from s to 50
cents. While economical feeding is
shown to be the major factor In the
cost Of fattening after the steer Is
bought, the investigation substantlates
the fact that feeding usually plays a
minor part In determining profit or
loss, and that buying right and SELL
ing right are more often the control
ling factors.
The cattle In question were bought
at about the same figures in both years
Of the investigation. In 191S-19 three
of. the droves were bought at between
SO and 81, but most Of the cattle COW
cred In the study went into the lot at
between So and s12. OF the q droves
covered by the detailed c~ost-accomt-
ing method, II cost between so and
s11. The weight Of the feeders varied
rather widely, averaging about 100
pounds with but few over 1000 pounds
or under 500.
Feed, the most important factor Of
the cost Of fattening the steer after
purchase, was found to constitute
from 70 to 90 per cent Of all the ex-
pense involved in handling the steers
after being put on feed.
Wide Variation In Cost Factors.
The wide variation in the factors
affecting cost was reflected In equally
wide variation In the total cost Of the
finished cattle. During both OF the
years Of the study the cost Of the cat
tie covered In the surveys ranged from
about sS'to SO per hundred fattened.
