The kind of grain to feed fattening cattle likewise depends largely on the cattle and the kind of dry roughage. When rather young steers are being fattened, it is the common opinion that a more nitrogenous ration should be used; whereas in the case of older and more mature cattle the grain ration often contains less protein. The kind of roughage determines, in part, the kind of grain that should be fed. When the cattle are being fed a dry roughage containing much protein, as clover, alfalfa, or cowpea hay, the grain may contain a correspondingly less amount of protein. On the other hand, when the dry forage lacks the protein, the deficiency should be made up by feeding a grain rich in protein, as cotton-seed or linseed meal. In addition, the length of the fattening period will have an influence on the kind of grain to feed. If the period is short, it will be necessary to feed very fattening foods, such as corn and cotton-seed meal, from the beginning; whereas if the cattle are to be fed 150 days or more, they may be given foods containing less fat during the early stages of the feeding period. 301. Baby-beef.--By baby-beef is meant fat cattle between one and two years of age and weighing from 800 to 1100 pounds. First of all, the cattle must be young. They must be well bred and of fine quality, as such cattle can be finished for the market at a much younger age than the plainer kinds. The cattle to be used in the production of baby-beef should not be permitted to lose their calf fat. 302. Feeding for baby-beef production.--If young ...
