DECIDE ON FEEDING PRO-
GRAM
There is, of course, no one
best system of producing dairy
beef for any and all condi-
tions. As is true in any type
of cattle feeding program,
the operator should • make
the best use of those feeds
that are readily available
at the lowest possible cost.
Then, these feeds must be
combined into satisfactory
rations, with consideration
given to both economy and
probable market price of fin-
ished cattle of various weights
grades, and degree of finish.
should have a high growth
potential, as evidenced by
heavy birth weight and heavy
weight at maturity. Since Ho -
Isteins are heavy at birth and
mature out at around 1,400
pounds, in comparison with
mature weights of 1,000 to
1,200 pounds of the European
breeds, it can be readily under-
stood that Holsteins are ideal
When it comes to producing
dairy beef.

For a dairy beef program to be most successful, scientist and ca-
ttlemen in both Britain and the U.S. are agreed that the animals
If dairy steers are to be sl-
aughter at young ages and
light weights, high energy
(low roughage) rations are
imperative. Under this sys-
tem , usually young calves
of either dairy or dairy x
beef breeding are fed in con-
finement----generally in
barns; are fed milk replacers
from 1-4 days of age to 200
to 300 pounds; and are full
fed a high concentrate ra-
tion from about 300 pounds
to market wieght of 750 to
950 pounds. Essentially, this
is the "barley beef" program
which I saw in Eastern Europe
and which was used to pro-
duce about 10 percent of the
United Kingdom's total beef
slaughter in 1963. However,.,
there is one major difference
in the feeding programs; in
the United Kingdom, an all-
concentrate ration is general-
ly used, whereas most U. S.
cattlemen incorporate a min-
imum of 10 to 12 % roughage
in the ration.
Crowding for market at an
early age takes advantage of
the fact that growth is gen-
erally most economical when
most rapid, and that young

HERE'S HOW -Paul Harvey
You can't dignify a hophead by pretending he or she is repre-
sentative of a new "drug culture. "
When all the highfalutin' semantics have been sifted, any-
body hooked on any dope is a piteous creature. And since most
such habits have to be financed by crime, each is a menace to
the rest of us.
While parents everywhere sit around chewing their fingernails
up past tire second knuckle worrying about "junior surrounded by
junkies, " parents and officials in one city have closed ranks
and counterattacked. You can, too.
In Phoenix, Ariz., the us-
ual narcotics problems are
compounded by the presence
of a large university, a
large Latin population and
the comparative nearness of
the Mexican border.
So in 1969, after narcotics
arrests had doubled in one
year, they formed a civic
organization called the
Community Organization
for Drug Abuse Control,
known as CODAC. Sponsor-
ed by the county medical
society, CODAC has be-
come a competent co-or-
dinating agency for half a
hundred local organizations
eager to do something but
needing expert guidance.
It includes the local men-
tal health people and the
Salvation Army, the news-
papers and the Junior Lea-
gue, the "Y" and the hos-
pitals; even a group called
Fathers Anonymous, businessmen whose children have already
stumbled into the nightmare world of narcotics.
Collectively, all these concerned citizens, through CODAC
have been able to pick the best brains available on what can
and should be done and then mobilize those who can do it.
Thus, in less than two years, CODAC has brought together
facilities, funds, manpower and knowhow for the massive
countywide counterattack.
First, education and prevention.
Second, treatment and rehabilitation.
Third, training and research.
Perhaps never have the resources of an entire county been
mobilized with more unanimity of purpose.
Volunteer counselors from high schools visit grade school
classrooms to discuss glue sniffing and marijuana.
The subtle side effect of these once-a-month visits is to show
grade schoolers that not all high schoolers are smoking pot—
and why not.
Strategically located "referral centers" are manned by for-
mer drug users, there to "talk down" some drug abuser who's
on a "bad trip" or to arrange emergency medical treatment.
Halfway houses are established near hospitals where a drug
addict can recoup in a protected environment. Psychological
counseling and group therapy are available.
And one subcommittee of CODAC encourages and assists
improved law enforcement aimed at puttting the pushers a-
way.
Results: CODAC's Executive Director, Don Jackson, says
the momentum already apparent offers the promise that the
local drug problem will be "under control within five years.
That's better than nothing — when you've tried both.

Dairy beef accounts for one-fourth to one-third of the beef con-
sumed in this country; with these animals, marketed as veal calves,
cull dairy cows and bulls, and finished dairy heifers and steers. Im-
provements in the science and technology of feeding and process-
ing favor growing and finishing more dairy beef and lessening the
slaughter of veal calves.
"Dairy beef" is just what the term implies----beef derived from
cattle of dairy breeding, or from dairy x beef crossbreds. Today,
it's estolled with pride.
But dairy beef hasn't always enjoyed status. Prior to about 1960,
few self respecting beef cattlemen would admit to finishing out
dairy cattle. Given a choice-between (1) topping the market with
a uniform load of well-bredbeef steers, even if they were fed at a
loss, or (2) making money by feeding cattle of dairy breeding
most cattle feeders would have elected the first alternative---
that is, they would have done so until recent years. They derived
much satisfaction from topping the market, and they took pride
in telling their neighbors about it. Likewise, meat packers were
reluctant to have visitors to their coolers see yellow-finsihed car-
casses, because of the "yellow fat being indicative of dairy breed-
ing or grass finish
Only presence, suspicioned if not real, of goat carcasses was more
humiliating to a packer. The near-contempt formerly evoked
by cattle ui dairy breeding was further evidenced on the nation's
terminal, markets by the names that were applied to them. Hol-
steins were known as "magpies", and Jerseys were known as
"yellow hammers"---term which were neither endearing nor ap-
petizing.
But time was! Today's'cattle feeders are primarily concerned
with rate and efficiency of gains, and net returns. As a result,
most of them would just as soon feed steers of dairy breeding;
some actually prefer them. Consumers demand beef that has a
maximum amount of lean, with a minimum amount of waste fat,
and which is tender and flavorful; and they couldn't care less
whether it comes from a critter that was black, white faced,roan
pink, yellow, or polka dot. As a result, more and more steers of
dairy breeding are going the feedlbt route, rather than as veal.
As evidence of this transition, during the 10 year period 1957-
1967 U.S. per capita veal consumption declined from 8.8 to 3.8
pounds, while per capita beef consumption increased from 84. 6
to 106.3 pounds in this same period of time .Also the shift in
consumer demand to more lean and less fat has been reflected in
the changed federal grades of beef. As a result, when properly fed,
Holstein steers will make Good, Choice or Standard grades.
BRITAIN'S "BARLEY BEEF"
The popularity of dairy beef traces to Europe. It was pioneered
by Dr. T. R. Preston, well-known Scottish animal scientist, in Scot-
land and throughout the United Kingdom, where it became known
as "barley beef" Holstein Friesian bull calves: (notsteers ) were
fed on all concentrate rations consisting chiefly of barley. The
British reported gains of 2 1/2 to 3 pounds per day, slaughter, wei-
ghts of 900 pounds in less than one year of age, and lifetime feed
conversions under 5 to 1.
