Growth potential of steers in the Pilbara - a summary. The trial was conducted over a range of conditions on three locations.

Those circumstances prompted personnel of the Agricultural Experiment Stations of Kansas and Nebraska to undertake a joint study of cattle marketing under a Regional Research Project.
