Cattle feed pens. Cattle being fed ensilage produced on irrigated land protected from overflow by 4 floodwater retarding structures on upper Mill Creek. Two cuttings of ensilage made 50 tons per acre in 1960. Feed pens have capacity of 1500 to 2000 head. Other feeds produced include alfalfa hay, barley, and grain sorghums. Irrigation is from deep wells."
