Tips On Feedlot Management
(This message brought to you
through the courtesy of Hensall
District Cooperative)
Last week, we noted that beef
feedlots return, on the average,
only 5,5 per •cent on the invest-
ment. We said that •one of the
important ways of boosting prof-
its was to improve the manage-
ment of feed and animal inputs
rather than by depending on
the selling margin as the major
source of profit.
What are some of the man-
agement factors which directly
influence your profit? An ob-
vious one is animal health. It
is easy to see the loss when we
lose an animal, It is much more
difficult to measure, or even to
recognize, the lowered feed ef-
ficiency which goes with sick or
half thrifty animals.
An important profit factor is
the relationship between capital
investment and maximum, use
of facilities. The feedlot must
be big enough to make effi-
cient use of the investment in
mechanic al equipment and
buildings. At the same time,
the total size of the lot must be
kept in line with the total capi-
tal available, and also to some
extent with the experience and

managerial ability of the oper
ator.
The utilization of the avail
able capacity must be geared to
maximum production per year
whether achieved by a slow
turnover of lightweight calves
or a rapid turnover of heavy
weight steers. Unused capacity
is a source of profit loss under
most market conditions,
Marketing of finished cattle,
and buying of new replace-
ments, needs to be planned so
that the gaps are not too long,
One or more divisions in the
lot, depending on its over-all
size, will permit you to bring
in new cattle without waiting
until all of the previous lot is
shipped for slaughter.
Another important manage-
ment decision concerns just
what kind of feeders to buy,
and just what degree of finish
to feed them to.
A higher degree of finish can
mean a higher grade and a bet-
ter price per pound. The ques-
tion to be answered is whether
this produces the highest profit.
In come cases, the answer will
be yes and a better finish means
better profit. But this is not
necessarily true every time, and
under all conditions. It might
be better to move the cattle out
sooner at a lower production
cost per pound, take a slightly
lower price, and get more steers
through the feedlot in the year.
It should be noted that since
fat requires much more feed
energy than lean meat, the last
hundred pounds is always the
most expensive gain to put on.
The kind of feed available on
the farm is a factor too. If you
have plenty of roughage and not
much grain, you could feed for
the kind of gains that you can
get from a high roughage ration,
and not worry so much about
heavy finish. With plenty of
grain on the other band, you
could find it profitable to feed
to choice finish. If you only
put through one lot of cattle
per year, a continuous opera-
tion would be most profitable
with the higher levels of animal
production achieved by animals
without excessive finish. Cost
of gains should be balanced
against type of operation.

Hydro Men
Meet At Clinton
.A heating conversion market
of $125,000,000 in Ontario was
forecast Wednesday, November
27, at the Clinton Legion Hall,
by Chan Livingstone, sales rep-
resentative for Ontario Hydro's
Exeter area. "This amount rep-
resents potential expenditure by
homeowners for new services,
added insulation, heating equip-
ment, associated wiring and
labor," he said.
"It is estimated that by 1981
the total of electric -converted
homes in the province will have
increased to 135,000. So far
over 8,000 homes have been
converted too electric heating
from wood, coal, gas or oil -fired
systems."
Speaking to 103 tradesmen,
electrical contractors, builders,
plumbers and utility men, Mr,
Livingstone, and other Hydro
speakers, dealt fully with the
electric conversion market. The
four-hour session was a joint
presentation of Ontario Hydro's
Exeter and Clinton rural areas.
The speakers stressed that
the scope of the updating of
electric service and changing
of heating systems to electric
furnaces, boilers, or cable, of-
fered good employment pros-
pects and sales of equipment
for the business and trades peo-
ple of Huron County.
