HEFTY BEEF ANIMALS OF NEAR EAST GREENVILLE
George KRAUSS (picture), manager of the Fairview Farm, about one mile
north-east of East Greenville, and owned by Thomas J. TRUMBAUER, of Coopersburg,
fattened 21 head of cattle during the past winter and managed to reserve fifteen
tons of hay for sale. The smallest of the animals fattened weighed 950 pounds
and slaughtered 54 pounds to the 100. Another one upped the scales at 1750
pounds and slaughtered 59 pounds to the 100, while the largest, a bull, of which
the above is a photograph, weighed 1925 pounds and slaughtered 61 pounds to the
100. This animal was bought on December 1, and sold on May 18. The gain
during this time was 550 pounds, or an average daily gain of 3 1/4 pounds. This
is
a remarkable increase and is not often equalled.
