Managing Farm and Ranch
Cattle Fattened Efficiently
On Pasture, Supplements
By MONT H. SAUNDERSON

in the fall by the weanerS.
In the management of the pastures,
some provision should be made for
dividing the pasture and alternating
the use between halves for good irri-
cation and regrowth after use. Such
division of the pasture into two or
more parts may be by use of an cleo
trio fence, or through use of some other
temporary fence. Depending upon the
extent of the pasture area and the
number of cattle in the operation, it
may be desirable to divide the pasture
into several units of 10 or Is acres, for
alienation of pasture use and man.
agement of the cattle.
At the beginning of the operation the
daily consumption of the settled con-
centrate will be small This will prob
ably be around l to pounds per head
daily, depending upon the type of
supplement fed. Toward the close of
the season the consumption of the sup
plement will rise to several times the
initial amount
The supplement may be ground bar
ley or mixture of ground barley and
other grains. Where it is available,
dried beet pulp may be mixed with
the grain to the extent of about one
third of the total bulk of supplement
There are also several commercial
hot srI1k H.
the ground barley in place of beet pulp
and commercial mixed feeds that will
do well for the entire supplement where
feed grains are not produced on the
farm.
Better Market
Since the time of marketing the cattle
from these farm pasture operations is
in late summer and autumn, these
cattle will, as rule, come onto the
markets at time when market de-
liverieS of cattle from the other kinds
of feeding is low. The market deliv-
cries of the fed cattle from the other
feeding systems is, generally, through
the winter and spring months.
The farm feeders who do feedlot
feeding usually take their cattle in the
fall. Their practice is to put the cattle
on the fields for period of roughage
cleanup, then put them into feedlots
for period of grain feeding to finish.
Not many of these cattle come onto
the markets until after the first of the
year. The commercial feeders who do
dry-lot feeding to finish may, of course,
operate year-round and have cattle
coming onto the market at any time of
the year. However, the volume of cattle
coming onto the markets in late sum-
mer and early fall is rather limited in
most areas.
Throughout the western states this
irrigated pasture nd-supplement sys-
tenn for making good slaughter beef
cattle seems certain to expand. The
economics of this system look good for
those who have the right kind of a farm
set up and reasonably good know-how
with cattle. This type of farm enter
prise will without doubt furnish more
and more of the slaughter beef cattle
for the western markets. expect to
see considerable development of this
enterprise through share-gain arrange
ment between the ranch growers of
feeder cattle and the farm feeders.

expansion of western markets for fed
cattle. One has but to look at the Stats
tics of the rapid rise of number of
cattle on feed in the state of California
to get the picture of this.
There now is very little eastward
market flow of fed beef cattle from
the farms and ranches west of the
Tooth meridian. The California central
valley district, big and productive
though it is, can't furnish the feeds
for many more beef cattle than now
throng the feedlots of that area Cali
fornia will bring in more and more
fed cattle, as will the other Pacific
states.
In meeting the demand of the west
ern markets for more fed cattle. in
creasing attention now is being given
to the fattening of beef cattle on irri-
gated farm pastures by the farms of
the western irrigated valleys. Most of
these operations start with yearlings
on the pastures in April or May, and
with the use of productive pastures and
settled concentrate supplements, try
to make an animal that will grade high
good by the end of the pasture season.
These cattle often are bought as wean-
ers in the fall by the farm pasture
feeders, and wintered on the farm.
Most of us have been aware of the
growth of this kind of beef cattle fat
tening for some time. It is only re-
Gently, however, that many have fully
realized the good efficiency and the
favorable economics of this kind of
operation.
Irrigated Pasture Is Key
The key to the success of this type
of beef finishing is, of course, good
and productive irrigated pastures. One
must have the right pasture grasses
and legumes for the local area; the
pastures must be managed for sus-
tanned high production throughout the
pasture season. On such pastures, the
results are almost unbelievabIy good
in beef cattle carrying capacity, beef
cattle gains, and beef production per
acre. Even in the higher of the noun
tain valleys of the western states, val
leys where the pasture growing season
may be rather short, the results from
this type of beef cattle finishing are
usually good
In the Gallatin valley of western
Montana, for example, where the pas
ture season seldom is more than five
months and may be only four months.
good irrigated pastures on the good
soils of this valley do the beef cattle
finishing job, and do it well. An average
daily gain of near three pounds for the
pasture season is attainable, with good
pastures and with settled concentrate
supplements.
Let's take a look at some of the
practices now in use by western farm
people who have successfully developed
this type of beef cattle finishing on
their farm.
Where the cattle are bought from off
the farm, the preference is to buy
| weaners in the fall, and winter them
on the farm. This gets the animals
located and at home, and gives the
feeder chance to bring them through
the winter in thrifty condition. The
limiting factor in this may, of course

Sn'aH-Fry Can Be

If your little girl wants to look
like mama, she can at least as
far as beauty care is concerned.
Youngsters, even the tiniest
ones, ogle grownups with big eyes
that say "me too" whenever lip
stick, cologne or nail polish is
brought into the open.
It's fun for a moppet to be
little lady in her own way. First
treat her to a carefree and cleans
ing bath, then let her use her own
busting powder and some youung
but feminine cologne or toilet wat
er.
While lipstick is not recommend
ed for the kindergarten set, your
child can look pretty and pink
with some shiny-cased, real-look-
ing pomade. Light pink or color
less nail polish gives luster to a
dainty hand holding a glass of
milk or Stuffing mouthful of

If she has the nail polish, why
not back it up with her own petite

cream, emery boards and orange
stick?
