Thedairy calf is born wrong from a beef standpoint, and no knownmethod of feeding and management can correct its deficiency. Professor W. A. Henry, of the Wisconsin Station, has writ-ten the following pointed statement* relative to the compara-tive merits of beef-type and dairy-type steers:. Fig. 13. Carcasses of Beef and Dairy Calves.
