  • Advantages and disadvantages of hog marketing groups
    Mintert, J.; Tynon, R.; Tokach, Michael D.; Langemeier, M.; Schroeder, T. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1994)
    Ten hog marketing groups located in Kansas and Iowa were surveyed during 1993 to determine the success, operation, and management of hog marketing groups. Marketing group leaders were asked to identify principal advantages ...
  • Differences in efficiency among Kansas beef cow producers
    Eidson, S.; Langemeier, M.; Jones, R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1998)
    Beef cow producers must manage costs of production and improve production efficiency to compete with hog and poultry and other beef cattle producers. A sample of 46 beef cow enterprises from the Kansas Farm Management ...
  • Economics of adding fat and increasing lysine:calorie ratio in diets for growing-finishing gilts
    De La Llata, M.; Langemeier, M.; Dritz, S.S.; Tokach, M.D.; Goodband, R.D.; Nelssen, J.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1999)
    A total of 1,200 gilts was used to evaluate the economics ofadding fat and increasing lysine:calorie ratio in diets for growing-finishing pigs. Diets were fed in four phases and consisted of a 2 x 4 factorial arrangement ...
  • Economies of scale in Kansas beef cow-calf production
    Stryker, L.; Langemeier, M.; Jones, R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2002)
    Cow-calf producers must learn to control those aspects of production that are under their management. Quantity of beef produced and the cost of maintaining the breeding herd from conception to weaning are two examples ...
  • An efficiency analysis of cattle backgrounding operations in Kansas
    Gow, L.; Langemeier, M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1999)
    As the structure of the beef industry changes, understanding its efficiency, cost, and profitability relationships is important. This study evaluates the relative efficiency of a sample of Kansas farm backgrounding ...
  • Estimating the impact of animal health and death loss on economic performance of feedlot cattle
    Irsik, M.; Langemeier, M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2003)
    This study examined the impacts of animal health and death loss on the economic performance of feedlot cattle. Using data from two feedlots in western Kansas, the impact of animal health on economic performance was ...
  • Examining cost of gain in Kansas feedlots
    Babcock, A.; Jones, R.; Langemeier, M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2006)
    This study had three primary objectives: 1) to examine the effects that individual performance and ingredient price factors have on cost of gain; 2) to quantify the annual and/or seasonal trend in cost of gain in Kansas ...
  • Examining death loss in Kansas feedlots
    Babcock, A.; Jones, R.; Langemeier, M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2006)
    This study had three primary objectives: 1) to determine if there is an annual and/or seasonal trend in percentage of death loss in Kansas feedlots; 2) to examine the difference in death loss between steers and heifers; ...
  • Factors affecting cost of gain of feedlot steers
    Albright, M.; Schroeder, T.C.; Langemeier, M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1993)
    This study examined the relative effects of corn price and cattle performance factors on steer finishing cost of gain. Seasonal analysis of cost of gain and the factors affecting it was also conducted. Using over 10 ...
  • Factors affecting variability in feedlot steer profits
    Langemeier, M.; Schroeder, T.; Mintert, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1992)
    This study examined the relative importance of price and animal performance factors on cattle finishing profitability. Using data from a single feedlot, sale prices, feeder prices, and corn prices explained 90 to 95% ...
  • Feeder cattle price differentials: how much did they change over time?
    Mintert, J.; Schroeder, T.C.; Brazle, F.; Sartwelle, J. III; Bolze, R. Jr.; Langemeier, M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1995)
    Results from mathematical models of feeder cattle price/characteristics using data collected in Kansa s and Missouri in 1986/1987 and from 1993 using the same data collection and modeling procedures indicate that the ...
  • Measuring the finishing performance of steers and heifers
    Langemeier, M.; Jones, R.; Kuhl, G. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2000)
    This study examined improvements in the finishing performance of steers and heifers from 1990 to 1998 by measuring the rate of technological change. The rates of technological change were 0.58% per year for finishing ...
  • Results of a production analysis survey of cow herds in Kansas
    Simms, D.; Langemeier, M.; Utter, S.; Fike, G.; Bandyk, C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1993)
    A survey of production levels and management practices of 205 cow herds representing over 26,000 cows in Kansas was conducted in 1991. These operations were located throughout Kansas except for the Northwest corner. ...
  • Seasonal performance of finishing heifers
    Langemeier, M.; Schroeder, T.; Mintert, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1991)
    This study examined the impact of date of feedlot placement on feed conversion, daily gain, and death loss. Results indicated that heifers placed on feed from September to December required more feed per pound of gain, ...
  • Seasonal performance of finishing steers
    Schroeder, T.; Mintert, J.; Langemeier, M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1991)
    Analysis of 10 years of closeouts from a western Kansas feedlot demonstrated that steer performance exhibits significant seasonal variation. Steers weighing 700 to 800 lb when placed on feed in September through ...
