Beef Club Vote
Favors Present
Purchasing Plan
Members of the Red Rose
Baby Beef Club voted over
whelmingly Wednesday night
to continue their present club
steer distribution plan, where
by each member draws for his
animal, and all steers are pur
chased by the county exten
sion office and the club leaders.
Sixty-one peicent of the
members voting favored re
taining that plan, while all
the rest of the voters, but one,
voted to adopt the pioposed
compromise measure which
would permit those who wish
ed to buy steers on their own
while permitting the rest of
the members to continue under
the present plan The third al
ternative. which received one
vote, would have made it man
datory for all members to buy
their own animals
Speaker foi the evening, Di
Sam Guss, Penn State exten
sion vetennanan, discussed
some pioblems relative to baby
beef health He emphasized
that the members should
“learn to know your animals”
Nobody can make money with
animals unless he knows them
and likes them, the vetennari
an explained And “a good
feeder knows when his animals
are sick by looking at them,”
he added He advised that
when buying a steer one
should obseive the ears “If
an eai hangs off to one side,”
Guss said, “the animal usually
has a high fever ”
After discussing seveial dis
eases not uncommon to cattle
sold thiough the maiket. Guss
talked about the condition gen
erally referred to as stiess
which he defined as “that giay
aiea between health and sick
ness”
He told the beef club mem
bers that the best way for
them to buy club steers was
light fiom the breeder, wher
evei possible He stressed the
fact that a “cheap” steer, sold
foi price alone in the maiket,
could be the most expensive
steei in the long run
“After bunging your call
home” Guss advised “tiy to
■keep him in an envnonment
as similai as possible to what
he has been used to ”
It it is a lange calf, Guss
advised, don’t stiess him bv
feeding giam 01 com silage
“He s not used to anything but
milk and grass ” Guss added
that a calf that is being wean
ed is undei stiess, and that
an acid condition usually ex
ists in his gut He lecommend
ed putting a pound of baking
soda to 50 gallons ot watei
and making this alkaline mix
tiae available to the calf foi
a day 01 so, with no othei
feed than glass 01 glass hay
The vetennauan said that
antibiotics aie of no advan
tage to any animal with a in
men but added that, in Penn
sylvania, extia minerals aie
helpful He i ecommended
steamed bone meal, if palata
ble, with tiace mineials add
ed He also felt that animals,
once they aie on a heavygiam
diet should have extia vita
min A He suggested shots of
vitamins A, D, and E would be
a good bet
