Points Given on Feeding
And Culling Herds
Cattle should be started on feed
slowly—no grain at all the first
day or two. Start with not more
than 1 pound of grain per head
per feeding the first day, and in
crease very gradually, especially
as you approcash full feed.
Don’t push your cattle too fast.
Scouring in a single day can cut
off a week’s gain. Feed regularly;
feed quietly.
Self-fed cattle show less ten
dency to go off feed than do
hand-fed cattle. However, it is a
little more costly because more
grain and less roughage will be
eaten. Self-fed cattle are better
