Livestock on Every Farm Specialized grain and hay farming without live stock to consume the. surplus is like raisins? livestock without growing any of the feeds which will reduce the cost of producing the animals. Either way puts the scale of profits out of balance and leaves the farmer to face the possibilities of loss on maybe his one and only class of production. Similarly, milk products are. more profitable than producing cattle for slaughter, for it is said the out put of dairy products in one year is greater in dol lars and cents t hat the tot ai 'slaughtered worth of all the cattle in the country. in.' iiiiri:-lil:i, ly lull rol.il lu p. nl tho riranili- Naliiimil In (In- ilt-vi-li'iim. nt or pi t iii.-iii.-nt mul poiulmiiius ayrU iilttii-al piTtty. ami an. always r.lail In I. ml n.s.-'IMan.
