Excerpt from Feeding Beef Cattle in California In the beef cattle industry conducted on a range basis, finishing in the feed lot is usually a separate business from raising the cattle. Cattle may be raised on cheap lands on grazing areas not suitable for cultivation, whereas the feeding or finishing must be done in farming areas where a surplus of roughage and concentrates is produced. The Southwest and Intermountain' regions are typical cattle raising or breeding grounds, while the Corn Belt is the great finishing area. In California there are vast areas of grazing lands, which at present are depended upon not only to carry breeding herds, but also to furnish fat cattle for market. Although feeding is done in the irrigated valleys, it does not at present occupy a very significant place in the program of beef production of the state.

Excerpt from Pricing and Competition on Beef in Los Angeles This process of dynamic change and adjustment is especially evident in Los Angeles. Here, beef production and distribution are being influenced by an unusually rapid growth in population, changed income and consumption habits, the rapid development of a large number of retail food chains and independent supermarkets, the establishment of a commercialized cattle feeding industry, introduction and widespread use of Federal carcass grades, and transition of the california-arizona beef industry from a deficit supply area to one with occasional surpluses. These developments have led to concern regarding their economic effects on producers, consumers, and various elements of the beef trade. Questions raised usually involve the retail food chains, the Federal grades for beef, effects of the shift in supply-consumption balances, or specific marketing practices. Most of the concern, however, derives from one of two sources (1) Change requires adjustments which may be painful or difficult for some segments or firms in the market; and (2) the process of change may be handi capped by lack of knowledge or understanding of the forces generating change, the changes themselves, or their effects.

Excerpt from The San Joaquin Experimental Range The actual grazing value of individual acres is low but there are many of them. Collectively they are the supporting base for California's second largest agricultural industry - livestock production. This production of meat, milk, and wool is the only method of harvesting the forage wealth produced by these acres from year to year. Grass, using the term in a collective sense, is the most valuable single crop produced in the state. Under the multiple-use concept these uncultivated lands of California have value for watershed development, timber production, livestock grazing, and recreation and wildlife. In different areas one of these uses Will become paramount and the others fall in different places of relative importance. The beef cattle population of California numbers over head and there are about sheep. In addition, about feeder. And slaughter cattle and over sheep are shipped into the state annually to meet consumption requirements. Beef production is important in all areas and of major importance to the agriculture of at least two thirds of the counties. The foothills of the Sierra Nevada are of great importance for grazing and five of the ten leading counties in number of beef cattle are in this area, namely Tulare, Kern, Merced, Fresno, and Madera.

Excerpt from California Annual Livestock Report: Summary for 1959; Inventories January 1, 1960 California has long been one of the leading livestock slaughtering states of the Nation. The State ranked first in cattle slaughter during the years 1951-1957 and ranked a close second in 1958 and 1959. California has been the leading sheep and lamb slaughtering State for many years. The chart on the cover of this bulletin shows California livestock slaughter over the past 13 years converted to a dressed weight basis. An up ward trend is immediately apparent a trend that corresponds very closely to the population growth in California. During the past decade output of beef and veal has increased nearly 50 percent, and lamb and mutton production has expanded more than one-third. Pork production in California has been maintained at a rather stable level for the past several years. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Beef Production The magnitude and importance of the production of beef as a factor in American agriculture are not generally appreciated. The presentation of a book devoted solely to a discussion of the problems of the beef producer is an attempt to give adequate recognition to the industry. In "Beef Production" the attempt is made to present in the most direct manner certain facts of great economic importance to American beef producers. Much of the information given is based upon extensive feeding experiments conducted by the author at the Illinois Experiment Station. The arrangement of matter is designed to suit the demands both of the actual cattle feeder and of the student; to serve both as a ready reference guide - a text adapted to the progressive pedagogic presentation of the subject in the class-room and a treatise conveniently arranged in logical order for the general reader interested in the subject. The writer fully appreciates that the work is not as complete and comprehensive as it might be made; it is presented, however, with the thought that it will contribute to the literature, especially on the economic side, of beef production. It is hoped that it will serve to make beef production more profitable. The writer wishes to gratefully acknowledge the valuable suggestions and assistance given in the preparation of this book by his associate, Mr. L. D. Hall.

Excerpt from Beef Production in the East There is a great need for more beef cattle on Eastern farms. The advantages to be gained in the development of the enterprise here are each year becoming better known. To increase the number of beef animals does not mean that the dairy herds should be diminished, for we cannot get along with a less amount of milk, butter or dairy products, and an increasing amount will each year be required. The production of milk and the successful maintenance of a dairy herd require conditions not to be found on the majority of Eastern farms. The location must be favorable for ship-ping or convenient to collecting stations. The land must lend itself to intensive cultivation economically. Buildings and equipment of the most modern type are required in order to conform with necessary sanitary conditions imposed to properly protect the health of the communities to which the product is shipped, and to keep to a minimum the expense for labor which must be watched so closely in this enterprise. None but dairy cattle bred for high production can be profitably employed in the herd. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
