iof their production.
There are two or three import
ant factors in remedying the calf
loss situation in range and pasture
States, the most important of which
is maintaining the proper type OF
breeding stock and keeping it in
the right condition to hold down
the calf loss percentage to the min
imum. Another element whic h
goes to the condition of breeding
stock is the use of supplemental
feeds, particularly during years
when the natural feeds are short.
1t should be considered that tax
ing q heifer two years of age sat
breeding time that by the time the
calf is produced three years have
elapsed from the time of production
of the heifer and that another year
or eighteen months on top of this
is necessary to bring the calf up to
marketable condition. If the calf
is lost the entire operation is a fail
ure, representing from four to five
wears of carrying charges on the
heifer, feeding costs and the loss Of
the potential profit represented in
the calf.
Better breeding will result il
stronger herds. more capable OF
producing and sustaining q higher
percentage of calf production. The
use OF supplemental feeds, when
they are needed, maintaining the
herds in proper condition viii tend
to make an improved percentage
possible.
The element of bettcring the per
centage Of calf production is one Of
the most vital problems confront
rig the cattle industry today. While
there has been some Improvement,
there is still room for more. The
country as a whole has improved in
losses from disease from ~ head to
1000 in 1914 and II head to 1000 in
1925. The loss from exposure has
decreased from "a head to 1000 in
1919 to IL head to 1000 in 1925.
This item of course. represents
losses largely in the range States
which have been decreased by bet
ter breeding, the sse OF supple
mental feeds IN dthe protection OF
the herds from the elements to 4
greater extent.
Imperial Valley press., 1927-04-20

Los ANGELES, April 19.-Thc
same need for the practice of ec-
onomy has come about in the live
stock industry as in other lines OF
production. The practice of econ
omy and elimination Of waste has
resulted largely from the eontinu-
ally rising prices on nearly all
commodities.
In the cattle industry in days
gone by the loss among calves had
not been considered of great I'M
portance as there was an abundance
of range land. breeding stock and
IN ample supply Of beef cattle for
the market at all times. Then. too,
at lower prices on range cattle the
annual calf loss did not present the
serious situation which il does under
present conditions.
Taking the range sections as Il
general thing the calf, yield runs
from so per cent to IS per cent de
pending on the condition of the
breeding herds and the range. The
calf WELD in so-called pasture or
fenced areas runs from TO per cent
to 90 per cent and in the small
herds are confined, the yield runs
around % per cent.
From this it can be seen that
there is . big opportunity in the
range sections rs well as in the
fenced areas to add large sums to
the material wealth Of the industry
by saving a larger percentage Of
the calf crop. 1t is evident that if
the percentage of calves raised i'll
the range States could be raised
even from 60 per cent to So per
cent straight through the result
would be the same as though % per
more breeding stock was utilized in
the operation. When the immense
calf production in the West and
Southwest is considered an in
crease in the saving Of calves to
this extinct would add many mil
lions of dollars annually to the in
come Of the livestock producer.
Should such q loss as is repre-
sented by the low calf production
percentage each year be evidenced
in almost any line Of business it
would Immediately be rectified as
there are very few businesses that
could survive should they waste
from 25 per cent to so per cen
