TABLE; XII. Showing Average Daily Gain per Steer by Months by 

 Long and Short- fed Steers, Winter 19,11-12 



Table XII shows that the roughage without grain produced sat- 

 isfactory gains on the steers during the 60 days in which no corn 

 was fed. While the rate of gain in the short-fed lot was good during 

 the last one hundred days the cattle were on full feed, the increase 

 in gain over the long-fed lot was hardly as great as would naturally 

 be expected because the rate of gain in Lot 7 during the last one 

 hundred days was the same as in Lot 6 during the entire feeding 

 period. 



COST OF GAINS. Table XIII shows the average amount of feed 

 consumed per pound of gain and the cost per one hundred pounds 

 gain with feed at different prices.
