    Corah, L.; Riley, J.; O'Neill, S.; Pope, R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1983)
    Steers consuming a free choice mineral mix containing Aureomycin (437 mg per hd per day) gained 15.3% faster than controls during a 129 day grazing trial on brome grass pasture. There was considerable variation in daily ...
  • Management options for pregnant feedlot heifers
    Riley, J.; Simon, M.; Keay, L.E.; Kiracofe, G. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1983)
