Fig. 87.—The Type op Calves for Baby Beep Production Blocky calves of good type and conformation must be selected for baby beef production, as others will not usually reach the desired maturity and finish at this early age. • useful feeds in beef production, when combined with legume hay or with sufficient nitrogenous concentrates to balance the ration. At the Hays, Kansas, Substation15 4 lots of yearling heifers were wintered on 1 lb. of linseed meal, 10 lbs. silage, lbs. straw, and either kafir stover, sorghum stover, damaged alfalfa hay, or Sudan hay in addition.

This trial well shows the possibilities in beef production when wise 14 Smith, Nebr. Buls. 90, 93, 100. is Cochel, Kan.
