  • Factors influencing rate of gain, amount of feed consumed and carcass grade
    Bell, F.W.; Mackintosh, D.L.; Pickett, A.G. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1948)
    This is the second trial to study the effect of differences which can be observed in feed calves classified as good to choice. The two lots in this trial were sorted from the 100 range-bred heifer calves purchased last ...
  • Factors influencing rate of gain, quantity of feed consumed and carcass grade
    Bell, F.W.; Mackintosh, D.L.; Pickett, A.G. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1947)
    The two lots of heifer calves in this test were selected from 75 range bred heifer calves purchased last fall. The 75 heifers were a uniform group, all of which would be classed as good to choice feeder calves. The 10 ...
  • Factors influencing rate of gain, quantity of feed consumed and carcass grade, 1948-49.
    Bell, F.W.; Mackintosh, D.L.; Pickett, A.G. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1949)
    This report is on two lots of heifer calves now on test in the study of the characteristics of feeder calves which are associated with differences in: 1. Rate of gain 2. Kind and amount of feeds required to produce ...
  • Factors influencing rate of gain, quantity of feed consumed and carcass grade.
    Bell, F.W.; Mackintosh, D.L.; Pickett, A.G. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1948)
    The two lots in this trial were selected from 75 range-bred heifer calves purchased in November, 1946 for feeding tests at this station. These calves were a uniform group classified as good to choice feeder calves. The ...
  • Fattening heifers for the summer or early fall market
    Pickett, A.G.; Weber, A.L. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1947)
    The two preceding tests with heifer calves were conducted without the use of grass. Varying amounts of grain and protein supplements were fed with silage during the winter season and then a full feed of grain was used ...
  • Fattening heifers for the summer or early fall market
    Pickett, A.G.; Smith, E.F. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1949)
    The previous tests with heifer calves have been completed. Pasture was not used in these tests but instead, heifer calves were fed a full feed of grain, three-fourths feed, one-half feed, one-fourth feed and no grain, ...
  • Fattening heifers for the summer or early fall market, 1947-48.
    Pickett, A.G.; Smith, E.F. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1948)
    Eight lots of heifers are being used in the current test. All eight lots have been wintered on a daily ration of 20 pounds Atlas sorgo silage, full access to prairie hay in racks, and 8 protein supplement. Dehydrated ...
  • Fattening heifers for the summer or early fall market.
    Smith, E.F.; Good, D.L.; Pickett, A.G. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1950)
    The purpose of this experiment is to develop a desirable system or systems of fattening heifer calves similar to the Deferred Full Feeding system for steer calves. The system developed for good quality steer calves consisted ...
  • Fattening heifers for the summer or early fall market.
    Pickett, A.G. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1948)
    The two preceding tests with heifer calves were conducted without the use of grass. Varying amounts of grain and protein supplement were fed with silage during the winter season and then a full feed of grain was used ...
  • Influence of winter rations and gains on subsequent pasture gains
    Pickett, A.G.; Smith, E.F. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1949)
    Five lots of good steer calves were used in this test which was started in the fall of 1946. Three lots were continued through two winters and two full grazing seasons. The other two lots were full fed as yearlings at ...
  • Influence of winter rations and gains on subsequent pasture gains.
    Pickett, A.G.; Weber, A.D. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1947)
    Many authorities and successful beef cattle producers have held the belief that the safest long-time beef production system was one that kept the producer in business 12 months of the year. This, of course, means ...
  • Influence of winter rations and gains on subsequent pasture gains.
    Pickett, A.G.; Smith, E.F. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1948)
    This test began with good to choice steer calves. The purpose is to use bluestem grass to the best advantage in producing beef. Two of the lots were fed out at the close of the first season's: grazing And the other three ...
  • Methods of wintering yearling steers on dry bluestem pasture, Four-year summary, 1948-52.
    Smith, E.F.; Cox, R.F.; Pickett, A.G. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1953)
    The object of this test was to compare different protein supplements and methods of feeding them to yearling steers on dry bluestem pasture during- the winter. The steers were good to choice quality Hereford yearlings. ...
  • Self feeding cottonseed meal mixed with salt to steers as a protein supplement on bluestem grass.
    Pickett, A.G.; Smith, E.F. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1949)
    Considerable interest has developed in the possibilities of self feeding a protein supplement to cattle on grass. Self feeding is a labor saving and eliminates the need for rounding up cattle every day. Under usual ...
  • A study of factors influencing rate of gain, quantity of feed consumed and carcass grade, 1947-48.
    Bell, F.W.; Mackintosh, D.L.; Pickett, A.G. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1949)
    This is a study of the characteristics of feeder calves which are associated with differences in: 1. Rate of gain. 2. Kind and amount of feeds required to make gain. 3. Value of the carcass. The two lots of calves ...
  • A study of factors influencing rate of gain, quantity of feed consumed, and carcass grade.
    Bell, F.W.; Mackintosh, D.L.; Pickett, A.G. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1950)
    Rate of gain in the feedlot is one of the most important factors determining the profits from cattle feeding. Also cattle which gain faster usually have more finish and sell for a higher price per hundredweight. There is ...
  • Wintering heifer calves that are to be fattened for the summer or early fall market.
