Excerpt from Meat Situation in the United States, Vol. 3: Methods and Cost of Growing Beef Cattle in the Corn Belt StatesBeef. - Far1ns where all the cows are kept strictly for beef (not including farms producing baby beef). On a number of these farms enough milk was taken from two or three of the best milkers to supply the family with milk and butter. In such instances the milk and butter credits have been ignored, it being found that the value of the extra labor in milking and caring for the calf, and of the extra grain given, usually offsets the value of these milk products.Baby beef. - Farms on which the breeding herds are maintained for the production of high-grade calves which are fattened on the same farm and sold at from 12 to 18 months of age as baby beef.Dual purpose. - Farms on which all of the cows are milked, and either cream or butter sold, the calves being weaned at birth and raised on skim milk.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
