1/ For management practice symbols, see footnote 2, table 12. 



2/ Based on tables 11 and 12. 



^/ Value of hay for "feed for the main herd" at $20 a ton; "base feed for weaner calves" at $21; and 

 supplemental feed for weaner calves" as shown in table 15 (assuming the precentage of crude protein of the 

 weaner calves is 8 percent). 



4/ The gross value of the preceding practice reported in this column refers to the practice on which the 

 indicated treatment was added. For example, management practice 4 was added to management practice 

 1. The additional gross value less the additional costs gives the change in net value shown in the last 

 column.
