The progressive steps in growing I beef steer are first to develop by ontinuous growth a large frame well •ovcrcd with r,v:.5cle and never entire- ly denude of I'at; then to deposit on this body of frame and muscle the fat necessary to give the animal the iesired finish. To achieve the first step requires a ration rich in bon-3 and muscle building feeds according to local conditions; to accomplish tht second step a somewhat similar J»t- ion is needed at first, but gradually changed to one containing a largei proportio.a of fat producing car. bonaceous foods, such as com, barley and peas. Increases should be grradual. The cor.dition p.^ the .steers sl|iuld be watched and the grain feed fitted to the rate of progress, so as to keep the steers gaining steadily to have them fit to sell by the data at wliith it is planned to market them.
