HENSALL, ONT. Farmers: As .many of you know, last Nov. 12 we put in our Showroom two calves for the Hensall Calf Club. Our aims were to keep feeding losts and gains. We fed three different rations, from starting to April 10/54. These rations changed as the ani mals became heavier. The starting ration was: 100 lbs. Purina Steer Fatena, 300 lbs. Western Oats, 100 lbs. Shelled Corn. This ration was fed until calves averaged approximately 500 lbs. This ration was changed and we included 200 lbs. of Shelled Com instead of only 100. The remainder of the ration remained the same. As the calves got heavier and reached around the 600 lbs. weight our ration changed. This time we used Purina Beef Chow instead of Steer Fatena so as to finish them for the Calf Club Show. This ration consisted of: 100 lbs. Purina Beef Chow,' 300 lbs. Western Oats, 200 lbs. Shelled Corn, 100 lbs. Purina Omolene. This ration is now being fed to the two calves. The results of our feeding operations are as follows: Weight Nov. 12/53 .................................
