This book presents research from a comprehensive study conducted from 1914-1921 by the US Department of Agriculture and the West Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station. The research focused on yearling steers and their weight gain before and after winter feeding, exploring the impact of diet and pasture on their growth. Specifically, the book delves into the effects of three different winter rations on the subsequent summer pasture gains of yearling steers. The study found that steers fed a combination of silage, wheat straw, and cottonseed meal in the winter gained far more weight and fat than those fed solely on hay and wheat straw. Furthermore, this book dives into the comparative costs of each ration to help readers determine the most economical and beneficial feeding practices for their livestock. The findings of this research are significant for present-day cattle farmers and ranchers seeking to optimize the health and productivity of their herds.
