Cautions Against’Too
Fat' Breeding Heifers
"Feed all breeding heifers
to .grow out well, but don’t
get them too fat. This will
help avoid calving difficulties.”
That is the recommendation
of John Lasley, Missouri Uni
versity professor of animal
husbandry.
On the basis of University
research, Lasley also recom
mends breeding heifers to a
smaller type bull rather than
one that is extremely large
and growthy for his age. He
emphasizes that this is only
for first-calf heifers.
“After a heifer has dropped
her first calf, the size or breed
of bull does not seem -to be
so important with respect to
calving difficulties,” Lasley
adds.
He notes, too, that “all
breeding animals should be
kept in good condition, but
never too fat. Excess weight
appears to have a very harm
ful effect on fertility and calf
production.”
In this connection, he tells
of, findings in an experiment
with Hereford heifers Some
were fed a low level of nutri
tion, some a medium level,
and others a high level be
fore and during the breeding
season. The high level heifers
were fat They had the high
est percentage of dead calves

the thresher body for 49 square feet
of separating area! That’s capacity
that puts more and cleaner grain in
the bin. Low upkeep begins with the

They also had more calving
difficulty.
This was true, he notes, de
spite the fact that calves from
the fat heifers were no heavi
er at birth than were the off
spring from heifers on the
low and medium nutrition
level.
Lasley’s recommendations
are based on information ob
tained in a study of about 200
first-calf heifers at the Uni
versity’s North Missouri Cen
te'r at Spickard. Cattle being
studied are purebred Here
ford, Charolais, and Angus.
The study of calving difficul
ties is one part of the nine
year research project now in
its second year. The three
breeds are being crossed to
determine the effect on meati
ness and calving percentage.
Thus far, says Lasley, calves
from Charolais and Hereford
bulls were involved in a larg
er percentage of difficult
births than Angus sires.
“At least a part of this dif
ficulty,” he states, “was due
to longer gestation periods,
and heavier birth weights of
calves. Although it wasn’t
measured directly, width of
the calf in the shoulders and
hips might also be involved.
Within each of the three
breeds studied, some bulls
caused more calving difficul
ties than others ”
Charolais heifers had less

CORNED BEEF ON A SPIT
The new corned beef fo?
oven roasting is tender
enough to remove from the
wrapper and place directly on
the spit to be cooked over
low charcoal heat. Use the
oven roasting time given on
the label and test the doner
ness by probing with a long
handled fork near the end of
the suggested roasting time.
The time may vary depending
upon equipment and fire build
ers But when the roast is
served, all will agree that it
is the best flavored and most
tender corned beef they have
had for many a picnic.
Ideal to serve with this
full-flavored meat is corn on
the cob. Remove corn husks
and silk, dot with butter or
margarine, and sprinkle with
salt and pepper before wrap
ping in a double thickness of
foil. Unwrap one ear to
check for doneness after 15
or 20 mmutes of cooking.

difficulty at calving time than
either Hereford or Angus
heifers regardless of the breed
of bull used. The probable rea*
son is the larger frame of
Charolais heifers, according to
Lasley.
