Show an opinion on met pulp 1 feo 1 at a california convention i P mr newball said all it 11 would be to economically feed pulp away from the fat factory tory as transportation and handling of pulp is quite expensive factories sell pulp at from 10 to 25 cents per ton the former price has been the custom when taken away from tho the factory the latter when conveniences and facilities for feeding cattle have teen furnis furnished bed at or near tha the factories I 1 doubt any profitable use for flor beef feed ing at over 25 cents per ton for pulp at this price and the usual value of grain and hay bay or straw it will cost frois frota 9 00 to 12 1200 00 per head to put the animal into good marketable condition at the present and usual price of purchase baso so and sale f cattle in call fornia these figures to 1200 are the full margin of profit fattened on grass on the rangdi and without any extra ost rost of feeding I 1 ata of the opinion that under ordinary conditions la in our state except by small farmers pulp or in fact any feeding cannot be profitably carried on but pulp la in a most excellent thing to have in this state to fall babir on in case care of emergencies like dry years and seasons when cattle do not prop erly fatten on the ranges I 1 believe however that small farmere who do their own work can p cattle fatten them and sell to a profit that would be satisfactory to them especially ally as lots can be turned off all every three or four months this would be especially true of farmers in the localities i where sugar beets are raised and a long lont start mado by feeding beet tops and which would require but little time cay say one ione month for on pulp with grain and hay bay |
