Improved Pastures May
Double Stock Gains
Beef producers thinking a
bout pasturing steers this
summer are urged by Asso
ciate Chester County Agent
Joseph H. Way to consider
the extra beef that improved
pastures will yield over un
improved pastures. He repor
ts a Penn State test last surra
mer showed that a native
unimproved pasture produced
less than half as much beef
as an improved grass pasture
Yearling steers on the un*
improved pasture gained .96
pounds daily compared to
2J09 pounds for steers on the
improved grass.
While average permanent
pasture in Pennsylvania does
not yield more than 200 lbs.
of beef per acre, it is not un
common Way says, for imp
roved pastures to yield three
times this amount. Low-pro*

ducing permanent pastures
have long been regarded as
the logical summer feed for
most beef cattle.
Recent changes in market
demands emphasize rapid gr
owth and slaughter at youn
ger age and lighter weight.
Rapidly-growing animals ma
ke good use of the high-pro
tein feed that is provided by
improved pasture. High yie
lds of forage per acre permit
high yields of beef per acre.
Way suggests that steers or
heifers scheduled to go on
good pasture this summer
should not be fed to gain
more than one and three qua
rter pounds daily during the
winter and early spring.
Slaughter cattle carrying
considerable condition shou
ld continue to be fed grain,
on pasture.

•Lean, growthy cattle make
most economical gains during
the early pasture season with)
out grain. Good pasture us
ually furnishes enough pro
tein during the early part of
the season so there is no need
for feeding additional pro
