' Beef calves with only- an open shed as protection from the wind - appear to make as rapid and econ- omical gains as animals wintered inside a barn. L. A. .Charetter of the Experi- • mental Farm, Canada Department of Agriculture, Kapuskasing, re- ports that twenty shorthorn steers were placed ,on test in the fall at an average age of seven months and continued on test for.196 days. At the' end of this period they were put •on pasture. One group of steers was wintered inside a dairy. barn while another group was plac- ed -in a shed where the doors re- mained open all winter. The animals in the shed had access to outside paddocks at all tithes. During these trials the steersin the open shelter made an average total gain of 174 pounds compared to 191 ponnds for the steers winter- ed inside the barn. The calves wintered, outside con- sumed a daily average of 5 nom -ids of hay, 18:7 pounds of grass silage and 1.4. ponds of grain the calves Inside the. barn " consumed 5.5 pounds of hay, 48.8 pounds of silage; and 1.4 Pounds of grain. Since the steers were watered and fed inside the shed, this tiltnitte4,0/44otios,they,Wou Spend odtside.
