Sheep Feeding in
San Luis Valley
written by L. L. Giynn. At re.
quest Of Kansas City Stock Yards.

Lamb feeding has almost ceased
to exist In the San Luis Valley. and
no other industry has arisen tc
take It's place. Thousands OF acres
OF peas are untouched In the fields
and there Is no profitable way in
which 70 use them. This is a direct
loss not only to the farmer and the
lamb grower but TO the banker and
the merchant.
The main reason for such a con-
di,ion is the death rate in lambs,
but this IL preventable. There are
other reasons for the slump. l
have been In close touch with lamb
feeding IN the San Luis valley for
thirteen years. From 1903 to 1914
such men as James A. Kelly. l.. b.
J. J. Spencer. Outs Wallace and
John S. Shaft We're sending their
lambs to market with an average
gain of eighteen pounds. In the last
eight years the average gain was
nine pounds. In other words the
lamb feeding had degenerated to u
gamble on IA three cent raise In the
market. a certain amount of spccu-
lation is stimulating TO any trade.
but when II becomes general IL Is
disastrous,
In 1903 there were 100000
lambs fed In the San Luis valley.
this by count OF the Federal In
speetor. In l92l-22 there were only
20 900 put on feed 10 start with and
most OF these were shipped early Us
feeders.
In 1914 when there was a 10
per cent loss Ia the 10000 ON feed,
the Fort Collins Agricultural Col
lege and the u. s. Bureau OF AMI
NAL Industry Interested themselves
In this problem and since that time
have been Investigating the cause OF
the loss and experimenting with
various methods for the control.
All this time the feeders have been
continuing to feed In the old method
ou, In the field. Both OF the above
mentioned agencies are continuing
their efforts but both admit that
they have nothing To offer. Let me
say that the San Luis valley apprc,
oiatcs their efforts and hopes for
their success.
There remains for the feeders the
choice of quitting or risking a con-
siderable loss. or ms an alternative
radical change In method. Cor
raj feeding is the next logical step.
In the past what little corral feed
Ing WAS done met with uniformly
gratifying results.
