The pens getting grain and beets and grain alone 
return the highest prices. Beets did next, then alfalfa and 
fodder corn, with ensilage last. The difference between 
ensilage and grain is 17 cents per 100 pounds, or a differ¬ 
ence of more than $1 per ton for the hay, due to difference 
in quality of the animal as a result of the feed. It may be 
that this is due somewhat to the individuality of the animal 
and not to the feed, since Brindle was the poorest of the 
four-year-olds at the outset. 
When compared by groups, the four-year-olds average 
3.92, the yearlings 3.68, and the two-year-olds 3.82. The 
mature steers sell for considerably more than the younger 
ones, or 24 cents per 100 pounds, equivalent to about $1.50 
per ton for the hay, or enough to easily change profit to loss 
had they been bought at the same price. But the four-year- 
olds cost 3 cents and the yearlings 2.65, so that the younger 
steers sold for a greater advance over the cost than the 
older. The two-year-olds cost 15 cents less than the four- 
year-olds and sold for 10 cents less. In general, the relation 
of cost and selling the price of the three bunches is within 5 
cents of the average. 
PROFITS OF DIFFERENT FEEDS. 
The original cost of the steer added to the value of the 
hay at $4 per ton, eaten from the time the steer reached the 
farm until December 27, gives what has been figured as the 
cost of the steer December 27. If to this is added the cost 
of the food eaten during the test, it gives the cost of the 
steer at Denver. 
The condensed statement for the six pens is as follows:
