This book compares different methods of feeding corn and clover hay to fatten steers to determine which methods would bring in the highest profits for cattle feeders. The author purchased 136 head of steers averaging about 1000 pounds each from the Chicago market, and conducted tests over six months to determine the most efficient methods for beef production. The tests showed that rations that approached the standard as to composition were more likely to show high efficiency for producing gain than those which varied widely from such standards, highlighting the importance of nutrition in cattle feeding. The author also found that grinding ear corn into corn meal or corn and cob meal did not significantly improve its efficiency for beef production. This book provides valuable insights for cattle feeders looking to optimize their feeding practices and maximize profits through efficient use of corn and clover hay.
