BY T. H. FAGG
i County Agent ?
During the latter part of May.
through the courtesy of various
banks throughout North Carolina,
including The Bank of Franklin.
| a number of farmers, county
1 agents, Department of Agriculture 1
personnel and bankers themselves,
were afforded the chance of mak
ing a tour of outstanding beef
cattle farms and feed lots through ,
Virginia, the eastern shore of
Maryland, and part of West Vir
j ginia to observe their methods
of feeding out beef cattle for the
I market. Eighty nine people made
| the tour, including myself.
[ This tour proved to be one of
the most instructive and pleas- 1
< ant trips I hate ever had the
privilege of making. It included ?!
I both extremely large operations [
1 in feed lots, where we observed
as many as 450 steers being fed
j at one place, down to a farmer
| who was feeding only 20 head
| at the time of the tour. These
farmers and feeders were using i
several different methods of feed
ing their cattle. One thing that
was outstanding on most all of
these farms and lots was the
fact that lots of roughage was
used in bringing the cattle through
the winter until they were put
on full feed around April 1. This
roughage was in the form of late
fall and early spring pastures.
This Week
With Macon
County Agents
good quality hay, silage, and in
two cases, ground corn cobs and
molasses supplemented with pro
tein.
Practically all the steers ob
served were purchased last fall
aftund October 1, weighing ap
proximately 550 pounds, and will
be marketed around July at an
approximate weight of 900-1,000
pounds. A number of the feeder
cattle observed were purchased |
last fall at our own feeder calf [
sales here in North Carolina and j
our cattle were doing just as good
and putting on gains just as fast
as any that the feeders purchased !
in Virginia and Maryland. All cat- j
tie observed on feed were gaining,
over the entire feeding period, an
average of 134 to 2'4 pounds per
day. In addition to feeding out
steers, a number of these feeders
were following the practice of
running hogs with their cattle
in order that wasted feed might
be salvaged. The general practice
was to include one shoat to each
two steers being fed.
Some ideas gleaned by people
on this tour were that cattle
feeding can still be a profitable
enterprise. However, it must in
clude good sound cow sense.
Build your program around what
ever feed you have available in
stead of trying to use a specific
plan just because it was success
ful elsewhere. Don't go into the
I business too heavy at the start
| and unless you love cattle and
intend to stay with it. It is not
! an "in and out" business. Size
j up your feed supply and then
' calculate how many cattle you
can fatten, don't count up your
cattle and then cast about for
enough feed to take care of them.
Feed comes first.
Other points of interest visited
on this tour included the Balti
more Livestock Auction Market,
one of the most modern in the
southeast, with facilities for hand
ling up to 8.000 head per day.
We watched various meats be
ing processed and pakaged in the
Baltimore plant of the Esskay
ing processed and packaged in the
average slaughtering 400 beef cat
tle and 2,000 hogs per day.
We studied work being done at
the U. S. Beef Research Station
at Fort Royal. Va? Here all types
of breeding, feeding, and other
experiments are being carried out.
