    Labor Used in Cattle Feeding
    (Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1960) Johnson, R. G.; Nodland, T. R.
    FATTENING CATTLE for market is a major enterprise on many Minnesota farms. The number of cattle on feed in Minnesota has risen steadily from 294,000 in 1950 to 400,000 in 1959. This gain is due to an increase in both the number of farmers feeding cattle and the number of cattle fed per farm. Farmers who are beginning a cattle-feeding enterprise or expanding an· existing one need accurate information in order to plan the catttle-feeding operation to fit their individual farm situations. This bulletin is intended to provide information on the labor requirements for cattle feeding as affected by the tasks performed and the number of cattle fed.
