If you pasture feeder calves,
how much less grain will they
consume over the finishing pe
riod than steers that are con
fined to a feedlot?
Purdue University research
ers in a four-year study on
groups of Hereford steers
found that steers full fed on
pasture consumed 300 pounds
or about one-third less grain
than comparable steers fed in
dry lot. The Indiana studies
were reported at the 59th An
nual Meeting of the American
Society of Animals Science at
the University of Nevada in
Reno.
In the study it was also
found that steers that received
varying amounts of grain in
addition to pasture had a fast
er daily gain and reached mar
ket weight and grade nearly
three months sooner than
steers which received no grain
while on pasture.
These findings point out
that pasture is a rrod substi
tute for grain at tl 3 rate of
about 1,500 pounds per acre.

"SUPER" MINERAL
THIS MINERAL is what your cows need
for good health, growth and performance.
Pasture no matter how lush cannot ade
quately supply the calcium, phosphorus and
other minerals cows need because plants
transfer only a small percentage of minerals
to plant 'tissue.
Only a small amount of mineral is need
ed to guard against deficiency. “SUPER”
MINERAL is your protection against any min
eral deficiency. It’s a high phosphorus (16%)
mineral designed for free-choice feeding es

where legume roughage is fed. “SUPER”

to calving to reduce the chance of milk fever
