Compared with last weeks
close, slaughter steers and
heifers 75C-1.25 higher. Cows 50c
-1.00 higher, bulls fully steady.
Feeder supply 50c-1.00 higher,
mainly fleshy two-way steers and
heifers.
Four day receipts 19,300 as
compared 22,000 previous week
and 23,500 a year ago. Prices
advanced sharply on opening
session as buyers forced to
compete for numbers on a
sharply curtailed supply and the
upturns were held throughout the
week as marketings returned to
normal proportions. Higher live
prices partially supported by
advanding carcass quotations but
radio between current live costs
and carcass realizations
generally unfavorable to
packers. Mud somewhat less
prevalent than previous week.
Feeder buyers again aggressive
for fleshy two-way steers suitable
for short turn in feedlot. Steers
approximately 40 per cent,
heifers 38 per cent, cows 9 per
cent and feeders 10 per cent.

Purina Dairy Conditioner Special can prepare
cows for good production at low cost

Market Steers
If you’re not among the many good local
dairymen who have started mixing
Purina Dairy Conditioner Special with
your own grain to build a research
proved dry cow ration, it can pay you to
check into this low-cost way of feeding
dry cows.
Purina Dairy Conditioner is a 16 percent
protein ration, fortified with extra Vita
mins A and D plus phosphorus to help
guard against milk fever.
To help you save on dry cow feeding,
Purina Research recommends varying
feeding levels, depending on cow condi
tion and the quality of your roughages.
For example, if a cow is in good condi
tion and your roughages are of excellent
quality, you would feed less Purina dry
cow ration than if the cow were in only
fair condition and if the roughages were
of only fair quality.

As compared to the previous
weeks close.
Slaughter steers and heifer
prices increased substantially on
Monday and continued their
upward movement throughout
the remainder of the period.

instances 1.50 higher than the
previous week, while slaughter
heifers closed fully 1.00- in
stances 1.25 higher. Cows were

Using Purina Check-R-Mix* formulas we
can build you a low-cost dry cow ration,
combining Purina Dairy Conditioner
with your grain. Or, if you’re feeding
low-protein roughages, it may pay you
to feed Dairy Conditioner “straight”
just as it comes from the bag.
More and more successful area dairymen
are proving that good dry cow feeding
pays off in extra cow condition and
extra milk production in the next lacta
tion. For example, 100 to 200 pounds of
additional body weight at freshening can
pay off in 1,000 to 2,000 pounds of extra
milk during the lactation.

the Purina Dry Cow Program folder
We’ll be glad to point out how Purina
Dairy Conditioner Special can help pre
pare your dry cows for good production
at low cost.
