sold to Miller Meats for $1.26 per
pound.
The average selling price with
out the champion was $1.17 per

The calves are raised and sold
within a 13-15 week period. They
are kept in calf shelters and are fed
milk/milk replacer diets. The
members then must keep a daily
record of what is fed with increases
of feed. Three calves may be raised
at one time.
The satisfaction that comes
from doing a good job
of fanning
Liming is one of the most important factors
in keeping your soil in the highest
productive range A good pasture with a
pH of 6 5 or higher for example, will make
300 to 400 lbs of beef per acre and
produce up to $lOO gross income per acre
This means with the help of lime profits
from pastures can compare favorably with
feed or grain crops *
