  • Performance of stocker steers grazing smooth bromegrass at two stocking rates and dewormed with morantel tartrate
    Coffey, K.P.; Moyer, J.L.; Lomas, L.W. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1989)
    Early-intensive grazing of smooth bromegrass reduced animal gains but improved gain/acre. Morantel tartrate reduced fecal nematode egg counts but had no effect on animal performance at either stocking rate
  • Performance, carcass, and meat palatability traits of open and 30-month old heifers that produced one calf
    Waggoner, A.W.; Dikeman, M.E.; Brethour, J.R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1989)
    Eighty-seven 3/8 Simmental x 5/8 Hereford heifers calved at 2 years of age and were designated as Single-Calf-Heifers (SCH). Twenty-six heifer mates that did not calve were designated as 2-year-old open heifers (2-OH), ...
  • Polled Hereford and Simmental milk production
    Schalles, R.R.; Kimbrough, S.; Zoellner, K.O.; Simms, D.D. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1989)
    The weigh-suckle-weigh method was used to measure milk consumption by 265 calves from 159 Polled Hereford and Simmental cows over 3 years. Calves nursing Polled Hereford cows consumed an average of 11.2 lbs of milk per ...
  • Relationship of milk expected progeny differences (EPD's)to milk production and calf weaning weight
    Marston, T.T.; Simms, D.D.; Schalles, R.R.; Zoellner, K.O.; Clarke, L.S.; Fink, G.M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1989)
    Spring-calving Angus (n=37) and Simmental (n=28) cows were used to evaluate the relationship between milk expected progeny difference (EPD), milk production, total milk energy, and weaning weight. There were positive ...
  • Soybean meal+milo, alfalfa hay, and dehydrated alfalfa pellets as protein sources for steers fed dormant, native tallgrass forage in drylot
    DelCurto, T.; Cochran, R.C.; Nagaraja, T.G.; Beharka, A.A.; Vanzant, E.S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1989)
    Sixteen ruminally-cannulated steers consuming dormant tallgrass-prairie forage were randomly assigned to one of four treatments: 1) control, no supplement; 2) soybean meal (SBM)+sorghum grain; 3) alfalfa hay; or 4) ...
  • Soybean meal+sorghum grain, alfalfa hay, and dehydrated alfalfa pellets as protein supplements for beef cows grazing dormant, tallgrass-prairie
    DelCurto, T.; Cochran, R.C.; Corah, L.R.; Vanzant, E.S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1989)
    Eighty-six pregnant. Hereford x Angus cows were randomly assigned to one of three winter supplement treatments: 1) soybean meal+sorghum grain, 2) alfalfa hay, or 3) dehydrated alfalfa pellets. Cows supplemented with ...
  • Splay-foot in cattle
    Schalles, R.R.; Markham, R.W.; Leipold, H.W.; Spire, M.F. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1989)
    Angular limb deformity, observed in several breeds of cattle, results in a knock-kneed and splay-footed condition in the front legs. This study shows that angular limb deformity is a congenital structural defect, inherited ...
  • Syncro-Mate B® induces estrus in cows without ovaries
    McGuire, W.J.; Kiracofe, G.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1989)
    Syncro-Mate B® was capable of inducing estrous behavior in ovariectomized cows. Lengthening the norgestomet implant period from 9 to 18 days did not prevent estrus. The ability of Syncro-Mate B to induce estrous behavior ...
  • Visual body condition score of cows
    Clarke, C.K.; Schalles, R.R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1989)
    Condition scores are often used to describe the "fleshiness" of cows. These scores range from 1 (extremely emaciated) to 9 (extremely fat).
