Hogs Finish Economically
On Pasture Plus Grains
By JERRY LESTER, Roofing Reporter

sure they didn't get too large be-
cause he too was interested in lean
pork for his customers. And Green
was paid top price, $22.5O per 100
pounds, straight through without the
usual docking for the few that might
have been underweight for this
class.
The weaver pigs were bought
from neighbor for SIS each. They
were crossbred using Duroc Jersey
bears on Chester White sows. Sum-
mer feeding included daily access
to the 17S-acre sub-irrigated alfalfa
pasture as well as some grain. The
last month of the feeding period the
hogs were kept off the pasture and
fed grain and alfalfa hay They were
allowed freedom in a good sized lot,
however, for exercise and cleanli-
ness. A se1f-feeder was used for
feeding the ground wheat and bar
ley mixture and fresh water was

FORTY TWO weaver pigs fat
tened out this summer brought in
a substantial income for Eldridge
Green on his 21z-acre Sun River
farm. Two keys to success of the
venture Green thinks are ID utiliza-
ton of his z-acre sub irrigated al
falfa field for green pasture and
(2) cleanliness through the use of
plenty of straw bedding around the
! grain self-feeder, water trough and
loafing sheds.
And we do mean success, because
all of the AZ pigs bought at weeks
old the middle of April were fat
tened out to an average 200 pounds
and ready for sale to a local meat
company the first of September. The
200-pound average is right where
Green is aiming because housewives
today want lean pork chops, and
lighter hogs are the answer.
The local butcher purchasing the
hogs watched them closely to be

left flowing continuously in the wa
ter trough from the artesian we'll.
Eleven tons of the ground grain
was used in the feeding program at
a cost of $40 ton. Each hog con-
sumed about $50 pounds of grain
during the feeding period. The con-
sumption of alfalfa per animal was
about 200 to $50 pounds with less
than Ia tons actually used. Next
year, Green plans to grind the hay
in with the grain for use in the self
feeders. A new granary is planned
with self-feeders along the sides
that can be easily filled from inside
hunks.
Pigs will stay clean if they have
a chance" said Green, emphasizing
another factor he considers impor-
tant in raising hogs. He is convinced
of the value of wallowing places,
however, and caused the water
trough to overflow into a narrow
strip behind his loafing shed for this
purpose. But he kept the area sur
rounding the water trough and self
feeder as well as the inside of the
loafing shed well bedded with
straw. No disease appeared and none
of the original AZ weaver pigs
bought for the feeding program was
lost.

More Beef
With Beets
By JERRY LESTER

best but many of the benchland live
stock operators are about out of
green grass. There is usually a lull
in price about this time also. Good
grade commercial beef cattle (Here-
fords, usually are the only type con-
sidered, according to Deschamps, be-
cause scrubby animals don't respond
to the quick-feeding program. The
animals are bought at regular live
stock auction sales.
The cattle are put into alfalfa
meadows in September and then out
to eat the beet tops from Oct. is to
Thanksgiving time. The tops are
raked and piled in the fields. Next
step is a 60-day fattening period in
the feed lot. On full feed, Deschamps
uses 4 pounds of beet molasses
spread on hay and 2 pounds of dried
beet pulp per head per day. Very
little grain is used in the feeding
program. The usual gain is ~
pounds per head each day.
Start Easy on Molasses
He warns that operators must start
out easy with the molasses and not
expect to get up to pounds per
head for 2 or 3 weeks because of the
laxative qualities. The molasses is
heated over an open outdoor fire
place and poured by the bucketful
over the hay.
He thinks the high-carbo hydrate
molasses worth more for the money
than any other feed at the current
price of $36 per ton. The dried beet
pulp causes the critters to drink a
lot of water, creates bulk in their
stomachs, gives them a good appe-
tite and increases their feeding ca
pacity, he says.
About so acres of the 318-acre ir-
rigated farm is in sugar beets each
year. Deschamps believes that small
irrigated units such as his must be
farmed intensively and efficiently
toward the goal of turning all pro-
duction into cash in the shortest pos
sib1e period of time. Careful atten-
ton must be given the use of barn
yard manure, commercial fertilizers
and crop rotation planning to main
tain production on such intensively
farmed units, however.

How Good Is a Ram?
Indeniug Program GiUes Ans,Oer
On Basis of Sire's Performance
b. DON r. BOIEY
By DON K. BOSLEY
HOW GOOD is a ram?

HOW GOOD is ram?
That's fundamental question for
any sheepman, and the Hughes Live
stock Co. has set up a system which
may provide some of the answers.
The system is carefully worked out
sire-indexing program which has
been used by the Hughes Livestock
Co. for the last three years. The
methods employed in the program.
and the results obtained so far were
demonstrated at an open house held
at the Hughes ranch near Stanford
Sept. 81. A large number of inter-
ested sheepmen attended.
''The big idea, of course" said Cur
It's Hughes, who, with his brother
Gerald Hughes, is in charge of the
program" is to improve our breeding
stock by making sure that we are
using only the best possible stud
rams. We have set up this system to
measure the quality and ability of
our rams"
Progeny testing is the basis of the
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1951-10-01

PLUG THOSE sugar beets if you
write anything about our place"
said Arthur Deschamps Jr., Missoula
county livestock feeder, because
it's the beets that have made life
worth while for us" And just what
he meant as worth while was pretty
evident as looked around at the
new 4-bedroom house with sunken
living room, dining room, completely
modern kitchen and attached double
garage with large powerful car
parked inside-not to mention a
charming wife and three healthy
children.
Deschamps was quick to add that
a good share of credit for the good
life they were living was due to the
country they We're lucky to be iv-
ing in-the good old U. S. A. But
the balance of the credit was due
largely, he thought, to the opportu-
mites offered in producing sugar
beets as cash crop and using. in
expensive waste by-products of the
sugar industry to fatten out beef
cattle in the shortest period of time
possible.
This last statement on fattening
out beef cattle in the shortest period
is also the basis of Deschamps phi
losophy on irrigation farming. He
believes that farmers working on
irrigated lands with high per acre
costs can't afford to be tied up long
with heavy investment inventory
and that this was especially true
now in view of the critical world
situation and uncertain market CON
dition.
Buys Feeder Cattle
With this in mind, he buys his
feeder cattle from range operators
instead of trying to keep an expen-
sive breeding herd the year around
Deschamps likes to feed out from 80
to 100 2-year-old heiferettes each
winter. He says they lend them
selves to the beet byproduct feeding
program and offer better feeding re.
Spouse, quicker gains and less risl
than steers.
The cattle are bought about Aug
1 at time when his bottom-land
sub-irrigated pastures are at thei,
