9. Cattle sold on large margins usually bring good profits, even 
if the cost of finishing has been high. Hence, buying feeders at right 
prices, or raising them economically, chiefly on farm-grown feeds. 
such as silage, stover, straw, and pasture. Trill usually insure a satis- 
factory financial outcome. 
10. Taken as a whole, the results of the tests reported in this bul- 
letin show that the southern farmer can feed steers on cottonseed 
meal or cake and corn or sorghum silage, with or without other 
farm-grown roughage, and produce satisfactory gains at compara- 
tively cheap cost, and can market well-finished steers for good prices 
if he is in a tick- free section. By so doing he not only utilizes his 
farm-grown crops but adds to his farm in the form of manure the 
fertilizing elements of the cottonseed meal fed, thus carrying out a 
system of diversified, permanent, and profitable farming.
