D22—Lancaster February 27,1982
Beef cattle conference features ‘best bet’ feeding
UNIVERSITY PARK
Improved feeding
systems for beef cattle
will be among featured
topics at the every
other-year Beef Cattle
Conference to be held
March 5 and 6 at Penn
Slate. The event will
take place both days
here in the Meats
Laboratory^
Different methods of
using the corn plant for
cattle rations will be
among the feeding
options described by
Dan Loy, graduate
assistant in animal
industries. Loy will
compare the benefits of
corn silage with
•'earlage”, a feeding
system using chopped
and ensiled corn ears,
including husks.
Loy’s experiments
with cattle feeding at
Penn State have tested
various ration com
ponents which he will
describe March 6. Loy
has compared the ef
fectiveness of various
rations as applied to
different beef cattle
breeds, various interest
rates, and changing
prices in buying feeder
cattle.
Discussing the cattle
feeding situation,
conference chairman
Harold W. Harpsler said
income from beef cattle
feeding has been low or
even unprofitable
during the past two
years. He said this was
created by high feed
prices, “skyrocketing”
interest rates, and
relatively high prices
tor feeder calf
replacements.
At the conference,
Harpster will describe
use of computers as one
of the better methods of
managing beef cattle
feeders. He considers
the microcomputer "the
latest instrument to
revolutionize cattle
feeding and all of
agriculture in making
management
decisions.”
One Penn State
animal scientist will
center his comments
around the question,
what is the most
profitable type of
animal m the teedlot—
steers, heifers, or bulls?
Erskine H. Cash will
describe nutrition
and management
programs to maximize
the efficiency of feeding
bulls, steers, and
heifers.
Another topic of in
terest to the cattle
feeder will be a “cow to
carcass” discussion by
Lowell L. Wilson,
professor of animal
science, and John H.
Ziegler, professor of
meat science. Lester A.
Burdette, Extension
animal scientist, will
speak on “Management •
Alternatives for
Calves.”
Speaking at the an
nua 1 Cattlemen’s
Banquet March 5 will be
Michael O’Feild, vice
president of the Farm
Credit Banks of
Baltimore, MD. His'
topic will be, "Finan
cing Agriculture For
Tomorrow—Optimism,
Not Pessimism.” The
banquet will be held at
Galsby’s in Stale
College, at 7 p.m.,
preceded by a social
hour.
