Live Weight Gains as a Measure of Pasture Yields

Cornell University

Abstract

The corn-belt states being recognized as the great grain-feeding areas in the long trek of cattle from calf-hood to shambles, colleges and experiment stations in the North Atlantic States have been casting about for some few years to see if there was not a place for them somewhere along the line in this chain of happenings. That the Metropolitan area of New York City is the greatest consuming center of good beef in this country, no one who is acquainted with the situation can deny. Have the North Atlantic states no place at all in taking advantage of this good market?

It is in the field of pasture that one finds much of interest and also much to satisfy his desires to uncover some of the hidden facts which can be readily applied by the farmer who is a cattle-producer.
