jMi Fooling
Feeder*
A prime steer could never be made of this critter, even
if a carload of corn were funneled down his throat.
He lacks something most essential to the making of a
high-priced carcass. That “something” is pure blood.
For all practical purposes, pedigree is the best feed.
If you’ve heard of a grade steer’s topping the market,
it was just because such pure blood as he possessed
had chanced to get in its work, chanced to offset his
scrub blood but it was mere chance! With the
pure-bred it’s a planned certainty.
The pure-bieds are the easiest States. And they declare, as a |j
feeders —they use their feed to result of their investigations, B
make prime beef. If you are that the most hopeful beef prac
ready to do your part in efficient tice is that of breeding good §J
feeding, get in touch with some steers and feeding them where B
