molasses. With this force 4,000 lambs can be fed a quarter, of 
a pound of molasses in addition to grain and hay. ' -/ 
When wet pulp is fed along with corn and alfalfa, one 
man and team ought to haul and feed grain and hay to 3,500 
lambs, while two men with teams should haul twelve tons of 
pulp daily up to about four miles. This estimate considers 
that the lambs would only need about a half ration of corn 
and alfalfa when fed nearly seven pounds per head of the wet 
pulp. These figures are taken from data secured from observ- 
ation and inquiry and represent an average which can be 
influenced by distance and ability of the men concerned. 
There should' be no extra labor cost over that of the check 
lot in feeding the dried-molasses-beet-pulp in addition to the 
corn. 
SELLING PRICE PER CWT. 
The lambs fed corn and dried pulp mixtures brought the ' 
highest price per pound on the market. The lambs in the 
check lot fed corn and alfalfa sold for 25 cents per cwt. less, 
because of several lambs that had not finished as well as 
those on the mixtures. 
In the lots fed barley and oats the lambs did not show the 
finish secured in the corn fed lots. The lambs fed wet pulp 
were cut in price due to their heavier appearance and would 
doubtless have commanded a top price had they been nearer 
the handyweight size. In this case their loss would have been 
only $3.54 per head. 
DRESSING PERCENT 
The wet pulp lambs were the heaviest dressers, being fol- 
lowed by the half and half corn and dried pulpers. An exam- 
ination of the lambs after they were slaughtered seemed to 
indicate that the wet pulp as well as the corn and dried pulp 
lambs were just as firmly fleshed as were those fed the 
straight corn ration.
