IX. Read the text В. В. FATTENING CATTLE The system of fattening on grass is mainly practiced in regions where pasture provides most of the feed throughout the year. Pasture and other rough-ages should be both high in quality and sufficient in quantity to maintain the rate of gain of 1 pound or more per day. There are many farmers who follow another method of fattening cattle. Cattle are kept on good pasture up to midseason. Then they are properly fed dry feeds for 3 or 4 months. They are supplied with legume or mixed hay, shelled corn or other grains and sometimes high – protein feed. This system is known as fattening in the dry lot. Having been fattened by this method cattle will be in fain flesh, provided they are supplied with highly nutritious and high – quality feeds. Farmers following the method of fattening beef cattle in the dry lot must grow different grain and legume crops. Unlike the system of fattening cattle on pasture, the system of fattening in the dry lot is more effective though it is a more expensive one.
