This seems a small amount. But without it, your pig would die. And there are other minerals just as vital to livestock. Some they need in quite large amounts . . . calcium and sodium as well as phosphorus. Others we call trace elements. These they need in very small amounts such as cobalt, iron, copper and manganese But your animals do need these trace ele ments. The people at the agricultural col leges have proved that past all doubt. Some minerals are a "must" if you want to raise healthy, fost-gaining cattle. That goes for lambs and hogs, too. For example," these men find that grass and grains in Dade County, Florida, are short of copper and iron. Clallam County, Washington, needs iodine to check goiter. They know that San Diego County, California, hasn't enough phosphorus. In Aroostook County, Maine, the scarce mineral is cobalt. Ranchers and farmers in these four corners of the country have this problem. Their feeds and forages are short of one or more vital minerals. Many other areas share the problem, including parts of the great Corn Belt. But you ask, "How can I spot animals which suffer from mineral shortage?" It's not too easy. If the lack is serious, your stock mav have rickets, "big neck," anemia or other ailments. But there are some early symptoms you can spot. These are bone chew ing, loss of appetite, slow gains, rough and scrubby coats. Or just a general unthrifty con dition gives you the clue. If you start feeding a mineral which contains the essential trace ele ments, you may bring them around fast. But if this doesn't work, then you should consult your veterinarian, county agent or agricultural college. The common mineral deficiencies in your area are known. By feeding mineral-balanced rations, you can correct these lacks. Or you can build up the mineral content of the soil. Either, or both, of these will help you grow healthier livestock, at a lower cost. WUliam H. Burhitt Supplemental Mineral for Wintering Range Ewes by WUliam H. Burkitt Montana State College Thirteen mineral elements are known to be necessary for nor mal functioning of an animal body. However, this does not mean that all 13 must be supplied in a mineral mixture. Many of them are present, under usual feeding conditions, in sufficient amounts for breeding ewes. Those lacking in Montana include sodium and chlorine (salt), iodine, phosphorus, and possibly cobalt. Lack of sufficient iodine in the ration of pregnant ewes results in lambs being born with "big neck" (goiter). Thin wool in lambs may also result. If dead or weak lambs have shown "big neck" or thin wool at birth in past years, stabilized iodized salt Bhould definitely be fed the ewes this winter. Phosphorus deficiency may exist in wintering range ewes, particularly if there is little or no sup plemental feeding. Abortions and weak lambs may result from deficient phosphorus. Pregnant ewes should have from 0.16 to 0.18 phosphorus in their feed. Many grass hays and mature range grasses contain less than 0.15 phosphorus and some contain as low as 0.04 phosphorus. Bone meal, defluorinated rock phosphates, and mono sodium phosphate are satisfactory sources of phos phorus. Palatability and consumption may be im proved by mixing with salt. Cobalt is believed to be needed by micro organisms in the paunch. A lack results in loss of appetite, less feed consumption, and eventually starvation. A possible cobalt deficiency may be guarded against by mixing 1 ounce of cobalt salt with each 100 pounds of stock salt. Cobalt carbonate, chloride, or sulfate are all satisfactory. Editor's note: The principles of nutrition discussed above apply to most kinds of livestock and in all parts of the country.) Hello Again! We are glad to be back with the Swift page of information and ideas. What did we do all summer? Well, among other things, we visited with farmers, ranchers, agricul tural editors and educators. And we rounded up the facts we need to make these messages interesting and useful to you producers. As we said away back in 1944 "This is your page, and we welcome suggestions from our readers." We still do. Just write to me at Swift & Company, Chicago 9, Illinois . . . And when you're in Chicago, drop in and see us. LET'S SUPPORT OUR ".MEAT TEAM" You know, times change but some folks don't change with the times. I'm thinking of the type of man who always thinks that someone is getting the best of him in business. He sells a load of steers. No matter what his return, he's not satisfied the packer, the commis sion man, the retailer somebody else always gets a "bigger slice." But, during this past summer, I talked to a lot of people about the livestock-meat industry and our mutual prob lems. And I found a refreshing, encouraging attitude "Sure, we got problems. Who hasn't these days? But if producer, packer and re tailer work together as the 'meat team,' we'll work things out " It's just good business , to have a decent regard for the contributions made by other members of your team. I hope you have followed the "Meat Team" adver tisements of the American Meat Institute and will talk to your neighbors about them. FACT CONFIRMED Out in the West, when ever I passed a town with a local meat packing plant, I thought, "This town, out here where there is lots of livestock, is well served by that local plant. But what about the dis-, tant cities filled with meat eaters and no near by livestock production to speak of?" I know for a fact that meat has to travel an average of more than 1,000 miles to reach those con sumers. The only way they can get meat is through the low-cost processing and market ing services provided by nationwide meat packers,' like Swift & Company. son. Agricultural Research Dept. MONEY and MEAT In the foU month we run into an unusual situation in tbo ivestock-meat packing industry. At that time we often see the year's high market for top finished beef cattle. And this top price usually is being paid when the aver age price for all cattle is moving in the opposite direction. The high price is explained by the fact that during the fall we usually have the shortest supply of the year of well finished, long fed cattle. Brisk demand for this short supply naturally will force the price up. The lower average price results from the annual move to market of huge num bers of grass-fed cattle. About 20 per cent of all the cattle and lambs slaughtered during a whole year must be handled in September and Octo ber. Meat from these animals being slaugh tered any given day generally is on the din ner table in less than 14 days. Folks aren't likely to have any more money to spend on food during the fall months than in February, when fewer meat animals are being marketed. Since beef and lamb is largely a fresh meat business, there's a lot of meat to eat during the fall months. Consequently, since consumers have no more money to spend, meat prices have to be lowered. And that's just what happens, as it usually does with an increased amount of meat to be sold and no increase in the amount of money with which to buy it. These lower meat prices are most noticeable, of course, in the large consuming centers where surplus supplies always can be moved at a price. Naturally, then, livestock prices follow meat prices. Producers should keep in mind that the prices they receive for their livestock are governed by what the packer can get for ' the meat and the by-products. This is perfectly dem onstrated, as we have pointed out above, when the price for one kind of cattle, in short supply, is moving up at the same rime. that prices of other cattle, in heavy supply, are moving down.
