Excerpt from Service to Agriculture: Report of the West Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station for the Biennium Ending June 30, 1936 Calves creep-fed grain on pasture during the suckling period and slaughtered at weaning time produced lighter-weight carcasses but dressed somewhat higher and were fatter or better finished than com parable calves fed no grain prior to weaning followed by grain with alfalfa hay in dry-lot for 116 days after weaning. These differences were shown by a summary of 3 years' work conducted in cooperation with the Bureau of Animal Industry, U. S. Department of Agriculture. The summary also indicated, among other things, that the roasted meat from the younger calves was slightly less tender, according to the mechanical test, and less juicy, according to the palatability committee, than the roasted meat from the older calves.
