Synopsis

Excerpt from A Comparison of Methods of Fattening Steers in Ninety Days

A large percentage of the beef cattle entering our market centers are scarcely more than half fat. Such cattle have undergone but a short grain-feeding period of from sixty to one hundred days. Owing to their condition and the length of their feeding period such cattle are generally termed Half Fat or Short Fed. The present magnitude and increasing pop~ ularity among cattle feeders of short feeding cattle leads one to ask the status of the business, and whether or not it is a more profitable practice than finishing beeves. Furthermore, it is a question whether or not the methods followed by the producers of finished beeves are best adapted to the short feeding process.
