FEED EXPENSE TO RAISE A BEEF ANIMAL TO VARIOUS AGES. 



As a jule the farmer charges nothing against the cost 

 of raiding, a calf but the feeds consumed. Looking at it 

 from thi$ standpoint the cost of raising a calf in this 

 experiment, to various ages was as follows : 



A. To 12 months: 



JF. winter feed of 1.39 cows the first winter $ 6.81 



To summer pasture of 1.39 cows 3.89 



To summer pasture of 1 calf 1 . 40 



I Total cost $12.10 

 Cost per hundred weight 3.01 



B. To 24 'months: 



To cost of 12 months old calf $12 . 10 



To winter feed of animal (12-24 months)* 4.90 



To summer pasture (12-24 months) 2.80 



v Total cost $19 . 80 



; Cost per hundred weight 3 . 07 



C. To 30 months: 



To cost of 24 months old steer $19 .80 



To winter feed of animal (24-30 months)* 4.90 



'*. Total cost '... $24.70 



E Cost per hundred weight 3 .20 



D. To 33 months: 



To cost 01 30 months old steer $24.70 



To summer pasture for one-half summer 1.40 



Total cost $26.10 



Cost per hundred weight 3 . 14 



*Here again it is assumed that all animals over twelve months 

 of age ate the same amount of feed, which assumption is, of 

 course, not absolutely accurate. In rental practice, though, this 

 assumption is carried out.
