net gain of $50 pounds on such steer
(assumed to be about 40 bushels of
corn, twO-thirds of a ton of legume hay
and 135 pounds of protein supplement
with stilbestroD, the total feed cost
was about $40. Transportation and mar
keting expenses were about SIS head.
Total cost from the purchase of the
feeder steer through the sale Of the
fat steer would have been about $2O7
a head.
Allowing six months to add the
weight and make the cattle into
choice steers, they would have been
sold in January-June this year. In
that period, choice steers averaged
$2O.1O a cwt. at Chicago. A 1,O5O-
lib. steer would have brought about
$211 a head, so that finishers did
little more on the average than get
back the value of their feed. Losses
were high ON many heavy cattle
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1956-08-01

that had run up big feed bills and
that were sold in January March
when prices were lowest.
Allowing for an increase of 5 per cent
in feed costs and allowing for small
return to the finisher for costs other
than feeder, feed and marketing ex-
penses, rough guides to the prices that
could be paid for feeders with fat
cattle at various levels are as follows:
Choice Fat Steers Feeder Steers
at Chicago at Kansas City
$4,000 cwt. $1,000 a cwt.
$21.00 a cwt. $17.50 a cwt.
$1,000 cwt. $500 a cwt.
$500 cwt. $20.50 a cwt.
FiniShers who have much cheap feed
may be able to pay more than the indi-
Gated values for feeders, but those who
buy much of their feed probably will
need to pay less if they are to come
out on the operation. In mid-July feed
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1956-08-01

ers averaged about SIT a cwt. at Kan.
SaS City.
Since cattle and calf slaughter is
likely to continue at yearly rate
of 40 million head or more i'm the
next few years, cattIemen should be
prepared for a continued relatively
low level of prices. Finishers will
have moderate ups and downs, de-
pending on feed costs and the level
at which they are able to buy feed
ers. Concentration ON cost reduction
and ON selling to better advantage
will enable some producers and fin
ishers to maintain or increase their
net returns.
More beef per COW and per acre
should be the aim of the grower. Pick
faSt-growing, large-for-age heifers and
bulls for breeding stock. Sell off un-
certain breeders and have the herd in
good condition at mating time to insure
high percentage calf crop.
Build up pastures by destroying
brush, reseeding with better grasses
and fertilizing where it is practicable.
Such steps will raise producing ca
pacity and reduce feed purchases.
If they reach good slaughter condi-
ton, sell some grass cattle early be-
fore the market is flooded. On the &C.
companying chart, note the seasonal
downtrend in prices for the lower
grades after July. Gain in weight often
is small after midsummer and topping
out will leave more grass for the rest
of the herd.
For the finisher, taking advantage Of
the new developments in nutrition will
reduce feeding costs. Anyone who does
not use them. will be seriously handi-
capped.
Buy breeding stock this year if you
want to start a herd or expand to more
efficient size. The Iong-run future OF
the beef business looks good. Popula-
ton growth is slowly increasing demand
for beef.
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1956-08-01

than last year. Just how large they
will be will depend greatly on weather
and feed conditions. The grass cattle
population is slightly larger than a
year ago. Condition of pastures ON
July 1 averaged IA per cent lower than
8 year ago and was lowest since 1886.
The condition of range feed averaged
lowest for that date since 1884. Rains
in July improved grazing prospects
in some areas, but they remain below
average. Some cattlemen in dry areas
are able to finance supplementary feed
ing Of cattle and drouth relief programs
will help out those unable to do so, but
it seems likely that the net effect will
be heavier marketing of cattle from
pasture and range than last year.
Prices for this larger supply OF
such cattle are likely to be lower
than last year. Consumer demand
is likely to be little or no better
than year previous and finishers
probably will insist on buying feed
erS for less money because of their
losses ON many of the cattle bought
at that time in 1855 and higher feed
costs this year.
However, Secretary Benson has more
money available to support prices of
perishables than year ago and has
indicated that he will buy beef if a
''crucial need" arises.
Later this year and In the first half
of 1857, prices for such cattle probably
will improve. The prospective reduction
of 8 per cent in pork supplies will help
demand for lower grades of beef. Also,
better returns from fed cattle than a
year earlier will gradually strengthen
demand for feeder cattle and will give
support to prices for lower slaughter
grades.
In July-December last year. finiShers
paid an average of $17.45 a cwt for
feeder cattle at Kansas City. A 7OO-lb.
feeder cost $122 head. At prevailing
values for the feed required to put a

Blind Commission
Planning Program
Hope To Establish Home
Industries Set-Up
Soon

The Delaware Commission for
the Blind in cooperation with the
once Of Vocational Rehabilitation
is investigating the possibility Of
establishing a Home Industries
Program for the usually handi-
capped and blind of Delaware. In
order to establish the need for
such a program the Commission for
the Blind has arranged to per-
sonalIy contact all persons who
could benefit from this program in
order that definite need for the pro-
gram could be established.
The goal Of the Home Industries
is to provide home employment for
capable blind people who are un-
able to leave their homes for any
legitimate reasons. Some blind peo-
pie are homebound because Of fami-
! " responsibilities, others are un-
able to work on full time basis
because OF other physical disabili-
ties in addition to blindness. It Is
Obvious that such a home indus
tries program would necessitate
training and instruction and on
the spot supervision. It is felt that
these services may be provided, BY
