  • Influence of breeding and length of feeding period on carcass characteristics and palatability of beef
    Mackintosh, D.L.; Kropf, D.H.; Flectcher, R.C.; Ahlschwede, G.A. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1965)
    During 1962-63, in cooperation with the American Hereford Association, 76 head of Hereford steers, sired by four different bulls, were slaughtered in Kansas City and the rib cut from 40 (10 from each sire group) was purchased ...

    Harbers, L.H.; Richardson, D.; Abe, R.K. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1965)
    Previous reports from this station indicate little advantage in feeding combined sources of protein (soybean meal and cottonseed meal) to beef cattle. The results were obtained by determining total nitrogen and protein ...
