This Is a question that Paul Gerlaugh chief of animal Industry at the station Ohio agricultural experiment puts to farmers who query him about the relative udvantages of feeding lower grades and choice grades of Don’t make the mistake of buying grade that Is selling to best advantage when you purchase your feeders says Gerlaugh During the summer and fall months cattle usually sell at a relatively high market price when compared with grass or feeder cattle from the range But by winter be continues the runs of grass cattle almost disappear and the number of cattle coming from until by feed lots Increases spring the plainer grades of cattle are found selling dangerously near to the price of choice grades The lower grades of fat cattle Invariably show more margin for the feeder during the winter feeding season than do the choice grades although they handle feed less efficiently The summer market is generally for higher than the spring market fat cattle and a longer feeding period Is required to bring out the good of choice qualities grales of cattle Because of these market trends and that feeding facts Gerlaugh suggests choice grades of cattle be fed longer to carry them over Into the period In the summer and of higher prices fall rather than feed lower grades and sell them on a glutted spring market Charming aa the decoltetage told In pictures of sweet Jennie
