BULLETIN 1296, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 
The standard amounts of feed and labor suggested for livestock pro- 
duction are used in estimating the feed required for the different 
classes of livestock. The quantities of grain suggested in these 
standards are somewhat lower than those actually used on this farm, 
but more and better roughage is included in the standards than was 
used on this farm.
