Importance of
Old and New
It is nearly impossible to obtain satisfactory
improvement of poor pasture land until the acid
in the soil is at least partly corrected. Poor pas
ture soils generally require at least three tons of
limestone, which however need not be applied
at one time.
Limestone not only increases the pasture
grass yield and the quality of the sod, but also
increases the percentage of lime in the grass
which makes for good bone development and
high milk production. The high lime content of
the bluegrass soils of Kentucky explain the fine
quality of livestock produced there.
It is also evident from Pennsylvania experi
ments that limestone used in pastureland en
ables grass and crops to withstand dry periods
better.
Here are two urgent reasons to apply lime
stone to pasture and hay crops:
1. The grazing season is lengthened both in
the spring and fall, thus reducing the days
of grain feeding. An abundance of good,
low-cost feed is provided even during the
hot summer.
2
Soil fertility is preserved and improved.
Lower cost feed results, and grain feeding,
labor and costs are reduced.
For instance, a dairy farmer who took part
in one of the recent “Green Pastures” contests,
reports that he improved a 12-acre pasture by
using two tons of lime, 1,150 pounds of sup
erphosphate and 11 loads of manure per acre.
The 12 acres w’ere divided into three sections
and his 21 tows were alternated for 110 da>s. He
reports saving $350 on grain feeding costs and
that his herd produced 13,939 pounds more milk
than in the similar grazing period the year be
fore.

PROBLEMS
ASSOCIATED
WITH CATTLE
GOING ON FEED
Digestive disorders and a slight trans
ient depression in appetite in newly-ar
rived cattle in the feedlot have been pro
blems for a number of years. There are
numerous causes:
The sudden change in type of feed, for example, from grass and
milk to grain, silage and/or hay and a protein supplement.
Too rapid pushing of grain concentrates.
Too jnuch protein.
Not enough roughage.
Too much high quality roughage.
Unpalatable feed.
Too much green chopped legume or grass soilage.
Feeding soft or immature corn. If not moldy, soft corn is satisfact
ory, but animals must be accustomed to it gradually (Morrison).
Too much green chopped corn causing green corn poisoning.
Too much silage fed to lighter weight calves. Calves do not have
the digestive capacity to obtain their total digestible nutrients
from a full feed of silage alone.
10.
Digestive disorders caused by infections.
11.
In addition, in connection with supplements containing an anti
biotic, there is an adjustment of the rumen microflora to the anti
biotic. This may cause a slight depression in rumen function and
reduce appetite for 24 to 36 hours after the initial feeding. Softer
feces also may be noticed. This effect is transient and after 36 to
48 hours the appetite should be restored to normal.
For a successful and profitable steer feeding program designed to
minimize these problems contact any Miller & Bushong Service Repre
