FEEDING BEEF CATTLE 



205 



These calves should be on pasture, be fed oil meal 

 and skim milk twice each day, have clean water 

 available for drink, and have placed before them a 

 mixture of other grains like cracked corn, wheat 

 bran and ground oats. If encouraged they will at 

 first nibble this; in time they will eat it greedily. 



GOOD VEAL 



Veal calves sell at good prices, but they withdraw vast numbers from the 

 supply of available cattle stock. 



But so fed they will show steady growth and carry 

 good flesh. 



Calves on Whole Milk will show fine flesh at 

 weaning time. If allowed to run with their dams on 

 good pasture, but little additional food than the milk 

 will be necessary. It is an excellent practice, how- 

 ever, to encourage whole milk calves to eat grain
