When, In the spring, cattle are first
turned on clover or other greeu feed,
the change should he gradual. This
is best accomplished by having the
cattle graze for 20 to 30 minutes the
first day on pasture, and increase
this period each day until the diges
tive organs become accustomed to the
green, succulent feed.
During the early weeks of spring,
cattle should not remain in the pas
ture overnight nor be turned on pas

grass. An excellent practice is to feed
cattle a little hay or other dry feed

Watchfulness dtlring n week or two
of early spring will prevent many
cases of bloat.

Better Plan to Sell Animals
Directly From Feed Lot.
i
It is better to sell directly from the
feed lot cattle that have been heavily
corn-fed during the winter and spring
than to turn them oa pasture. Tests
at the Ohio experiment station and
elsewhere show that such cattle
turned on grass lost heavily during
the first few weeks and even later fall
ti make large gains.
For this reason, G. Bohstedt, head
of the animal industry department at
the Ohio station, holds that the turn
ing of corn-'ei". cattle on gras' In the
spring is financially a risky practice,
especially with poorly bred cattle. A
feeding triul under his direction last
year showed that corn-fed cattle
would much better have been sold di
rectly out of the feed lot than later
after having been turned on pasture.
Sometimes cattle ceders are
tempted to change their original plan
of shipping directly from the feed lot.
Perhaps heavier cattle command a
premium; or, if young stuff i being
fed, It may not be finished enough to
suit the present market.
Cattle need roughage even for finish
Ing, which cannot be done on corn anil
cottonseed meal alone. The supply of
hay, silage, or shock corn may lie low.
But It Is a mistake to turn the heavily
corn-fed cattle on pasture, although
the grass Is abundant and cheap and
palatable to the cattle.
It may be possible to spread the
hay or silage a little farther. The
steers may relish some bright oat
straw. Grinding or crushing the ear
corn to eorn-and-cob meal will help
provide roughage. A little bran nml
oats In the ration is splendid under
such conditions. At the same time a
liberal amount of cottonseed meal
should be fed, especially now that it is
cheap. Yearlings and older cattle
will do well getting abou' three
pounds daily per head. More has been
fed at times with profit.
These or other alternatives may
make It necessary to turn corn-fed
cattle on new grass, and both prac
tical experience and experimental el
donee argue for selling directly out of
the feed lot.
