The Potential for Dairy Beef¹

Agway Inc., Syracuse, New York 14850

Abstract

It seems reasonable to expect the Northeast to develop profitable meat production enterprises. The opportunities of using the regional by-products, such as Holstein bull calves or discarded feedstuffs such as corn stalks or possibly by-products of the canning industry, appear profitable. Then, too, present knowledge and crop varieties can substantially increase forage crop yields per acre and, consequently, reduce the unit cost which makes it more profitable to feed these crops to meat animals. Finally, let us not forget to mention once more our proximity to 30% of the U.S. population who are eating more meat per capita each year.
