Cost for each cattle unit of farmer's own stock, $4.83. 



Bedding 



Waste hay and stover from the mangers furnished a considerable quantity 

 of bedding. No charge was made for this, since it was charged to the 

 cattle as forage. Very little bedding was purchased. The bedding cost 

 was apportioned to cows, heifers, and herd bulls on each farm. The data 

 are given in table 6 :
