The Kansas Five-Year Beef Cattle Program

Kansas State College

Abstract

Before starting the method by which Kansas is doing its beef cattle extension work it will be well, I think, to give you an idea of the situation we have in Kansas. The section of the State, comprising 35 counties, in which we are working is called the blue stem or long grass section and includes a strip about 100 miles wide, extending across the east central part of the State. The grass is big and little blue stem, and the country is rolling, with a large part of it tillable and cut up into farms averaging from about 200 acres per farm in some counties to 750 acres per farm in other counties. In at least a dozen of these counties there has always been a large number of steers brought up from the south and grazed or wintered and grazed. The result of speculation on these steers has been in many cases about the same as the result of many late speculations on the stock market.
