Mr. and Ms Huidekoper retired a
few years age. after having sold the

day in and day out, in good years and
in bad, for the years that make up an

ssHuide'' Immediately bought a small
irrigated farm just across the river
from Big Timber. Here he has set up
a most efficient little factory for turn
ing range cattle into just about the
most succulert steaks and roasts you
ever had set before you. And with very
little investment in equipment, this
small factory is about as practical and
labor-saving could be put together.
Modern Plant
To the physical plant the Colonel has
applied a feeding program as modern
as tomorrow With a long -practiced eye
he picks good feeding range cattle
(nOstly heifers because he thinks they
gain better) and with a mind adjusted
to the very latest available knowledge,
he mixes UP feeding ration which con-
tains diethyIstilbestro1, the revolution
airy new feed additive
While the feeding ration varies to
suit the condition Of the cattle. the
basic full feed ration is 2 pounds of
commercial feed containing 'stiIbosoI,
8 pounds of steam rolled barley and
5 pounds of dried beet pulp. With this he
Is putting = humping 225 pounds of
gain in 100 days or a little more. Not
only that. he starts out with 500 pound
feeder heifers a little on the thin side
and puts a covering of white fat both

bling within fhe grains OF red meat q

Five to six thousand of his steers
ranged on big slice of the country en-
comprising the mouths of Little Beaver,
Coyote and Deep Creek, along the Little
Missouri. These were steers brought IN
from Texas In the first couple of years
of operation. Later Huidekoper bought
his requirements from Oregon These
cattle were straight 2-year-o1d steers
when purchased for May delivery (gen-
orally at Wibaux) and they were sold
as 4-year-olds most generally to Swift
and Co., Chicago. They often tipped the
scales at 1900 pounds or better
In 1905 the Milwaukee Road ran its
survey lines right sIap-dab through the
middle of the Huidekoper range and
settlers came in by the hundreds to
take up the land
