New Cattle Feed Plan
A new dairy-beef feeding pro¬ gram has been announced by Fox Valley Milk Feeds, LaFox, Illinois. The new program has regularly produced thousand pound steers by one year age. It was recently writ¬ ten up in Successful Farming mag¬ azine.
There day old calves are stadted on the program by heavy feeding* of a high energy milk replaoer. They are fed in this manner for the first three weeks. They are' then weaned onto a balanced grain ration and are full-fed for the re¬ mainder of the year. The heavy fe^edijig of the milk the first three weeks is believed to cause the tremendous growthiness which characterizes calves fed on thfe program.
Total cost of feeding has approx¬ imated $120 per head. The cattle have sold in Chicago this past year for an average of about 21c. The rapid growth accounts ofr the high profito f the new program.
Fox Valley Milk Feeds has been developing this new dairy-beef feeding program since 1960. They have fed over three hundred calves from birth to market, and are cur¬ rently feeding an additional one hundred and twenty-five head of all sizes. TTieir cattle were the highest sellng Holsteins in (Chi¬ cago in 1962.
Fox Valley has also developed an automatic calf feeder which is virtually self-cleaning and main¬ tenance-free. TTiey have free-stzill housing for young calves and plas¬ tic-surfaced pens which can be sanitized in minutes. They have slatted flooring for older calves, and self-feeders for both rough¬ age and concentrates. Their eost for all this is claimed to be even less than what is often paid for older feeding methods.
Fox Valley Milk Feeds is having a special open house and totir of its facilities for the farmers of the Huntley area on Jan. 13 throughf Jan. 17. Everyone is cordially in¬ vited to attend. Their mill, calf bam and feed lots are located in LaFox, two hundred yards east of Potter's store.
