  • New developments in feeding wheat to cattle
    Brethour, J.; Lee, B.; Riley, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1985)
    At least for the varieties we studied, hard red winter wheat was superior to soft red winter wheat in beef cattle rations. That contradicts the perception that feed wheats should be soft. The net energy values of Larned ...
  • Performance and carcass characteristics of Chianina-X steers
    Riley, J.; Fink, G. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1975)
    Chianina-X steers gained consistently during a 151-day finishing test and produced high yielding carcasses with 0.06 in. fat and 1.71 square of loin per hundred pounds of carcass. Average USDA quality grade was between ...
  • Protein levels with and without Monensin for finishing steers
    Thompson, W.; Riley, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1979)
    Ration erode protein levels of 9%, 11%, 15%, 12 declining to 10.5% and 13% declining to 11% and finally to 9% were fed with and without Monensin. Steers fed 9% protein continuously gained the least and were the least ...
  • Serum cholesterol concentrations in yearling bulls
    Goldy, G.; Riley, J.; Olsen, W. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1988)
    A wide range in serum cholesterol concentrations was observed within and between all four breeds of yearling bulls studied. The significance of this observation is unknown at this time. Addition research is necessary to ...
  • Silo-best for corn silage
    Bolsen, K.; Riley, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1980)
    Two corn silages (37 to 38% DM) were made September 2 and 3, 1975; one was ensiled without additive (control), the other with Silo-Best added at 1.0 lb. per ton of fresh crop. Silos were opened after 36 days, and ...
  • Single vs. reimplant programs for finishing steers
    Riley, J.; Pope, R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1984)
    Finishing yearling beef steers were used to compare various implant programs in a 167-day trial. All implant programs increased daily gain ranging from 6.6 to 25.4% over non-implanted controls and improved feed efficiency ...
  • Sources of roughage and milo for finishing steers
    Bolsen, K.; Riley, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1977)
    Steers fed corn silage gained significantly (P<.05) faster than steers fed any other roughage. Wheat silage ranked second with gains significantly (P<.05) more than gains from milo stover silage, alfalfa hay or corn ...
  • Sources of roughage and milo for finishing steers
    Bolsen, K.; Riley, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1976)
    One hundred five yearling steers were used to evaluate seven milo treatments: (1) dry, (2) micronized, (3) steam flaked +.2% propionic acid (acid-flake), (4) field harvested high moisture (F-HM) ensiled whole in an 02 ...
  • Stocking rate and supplementation for steers grazing bluestem pasture in early summer
    Held, R.; Riley, J.; Owensby, C.; Smith, E. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1984)
    Native bluestem pastures were grazed from May 16 to July 14, 1983 by steers with an average beginning weight of 545lbs., at stocking rates of 1.82, 1.5, and 1.25 acres per steer. Daily gains for the high and low stocking ...
  • Stocking rate and supplementation for steers grazing intensively on early-stocked bluestem pasture
    Held, R.; Riley, J.; Owensby, C.E.; Smith, E.F. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1982)
    Native bluestem pastures were grazed by 520-lb steers from April 30 to July 14 at stocking rates of 1.7, 1.3 and 1.1 acres per steer. Daily gain of the steers was about the same for the two heavier stocking rates, but was ...
  • Stocking rate and supplementation of steers grazing bluestem pasture in early summer
    Smith, E.F.; Graber, R.W.; Riley, J.; Owensby, C.; Schalles, R.R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1985)
    Native bluestem pastures were grazed from May 8 to July 18, 1984 by steers with an average beginning weight of 553 lb, at stocking rates of 1.7, 1.5, and 1.25 acres per steer. Gains per acre were higher (P<.01) with ...
  • Stocking rate, supplementation and implants for steers grazing bluestem pasture in early summer
    Held, R.; Riley, J.; Owensby, C.E.; Smith, E.F. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1983)
    Native bluestem pastures were grazed from May 10 to July 15, 1982 by steers averaging 599 lbs, at stocking rates 1.82, 1.5, 1.2 acres per steer. Daily gains were similar for all rates, but gain per acre increased with ...
  • Sudangrass, sorghum-sudan, forage sorghum, and corn silages and three protein levels for growing yearling steers
    Thompson, W.; Oltjen, J.; Bolsen, K.; Ilg, H.; Riley, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1978)
    Sudangrass, sorghum-sudan, forage sorghum, and corn silages were full-fed to yearling steers for 70-or 91-day growing periods. For both periods, steers fed corn silage outperformed steers fed any other silage. In the 70-day ...
  • Survey of Kansas cow-calf producers
    Riley, J.; Thompson, W. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1979)
    The average producer we surveyed was 46 years old with 1 year of college. He had 125 cows and 5 bulls, usually Hereford or Angus, breeding naturally on pasture for 4 1/2 months. Most replacement heifers calved at the ...
  • Survey of Kansas Cow-calf producers
    Riley, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1983)
    Results of a 1982 survey were compared to a similar survey conducted 5 years earlier to determine if the acceptance of management practices had changed during that time period. The cow herd size was similar in both surveys ...

    Fleck, A.A.; Schalles, R.R.; Riley, J.; Fink, G.; O' Banion, D.S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1977)
    Adding a medicated top dressing to a weaning calf ration did not reduce calf sickness, but increased weight gains the second and third weeks of a three-week weaning trial.
  • Wheat, barley and corn silage rations and urea for growing steers
    Bolsen, K.; Riley, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1976)
    Eight rations were fed to 15 yearling steers (3 pens of 5 steers each). Arthur wheat, Paoli barley and corn silages were supplemented with either soybean meal or urea; Blue Boy II and Eagle wheat silages were supplemented ...
