    Fink, L.; Corah, L.; Kiracofe, G.; McKee, M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1979)
    Forty-nine Simmental X Hereford and Hereford calves (24 bulls and 25 steers) were used to study the effect of Ralgro on growth, carcass traits, sex drive, sperm production, and development of sex organs. Approximately half ...
  • Evaluating the breeding potential of yearling bulls
    Corah, L.; Kiracofe, G.; McKee, M.; Schalles, R.R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station, 1979)
    Two years of research with nine herds indicated one of two yearling bulls with a herd usually will sire most of the calves. In six of the nine cases, the bull we pre-evaluated as most sexually active was the sire of the ...
  • Incidence of short estrous cycles after weaning in beef cows
