• Relationship between summer gains of yearling steers on bluestem pastures and feeder grade, shade of color, weight at the start of the grazing season, and previous winter gain. 

  Holland, L.A.; Wheat, J.D.; Smith, E.F.; Smith, W.H.; Good, D.L.; Cox, R.F. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-10-31)

  The Department of Animal Husbandry purchases steer calves each fall to be wintered and grazed the following summer in studies of different methods of managing bluestem pastures. This affords opportunities to study the ...
• Fundamental studies of sorghum roughages and grains. I. A study of the value of pelleting milo grain. II. A study of the value of levels of hormone and synthetic hormone-like substances. 

  Richardson, D.; Smith, E.F.; Koch, B.A.; Cox, R.F. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-10-31)

  Previous work has shown that rate of gain and carcass quality are essentially the same with milo grain and corn when self-fed in a beef-fattening ration (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Circulars 308, 320, and ...
• Bringing cattle to full feed of grain rapidly (with and without Stilbestrol implants). 

  Koch, B.A.; Smith, E.F.; Cox, R.F. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-10-31)

  Bringing cattle to a full feed of grain in the shortest time possible is one way to reduce the total time they require to reach market weight. Producers are always faced with the problem of bringing cattle on feed too ...
• Winter management for steer calves on a wintering, grazing, and fattening program. 

  Smith, E.F.; Koch, B.A.; Cox, R.F.; Walker, G.L. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-10-31)

  Dry bluestem pasture has been used successfully several years at this station as a source of winter roughage for steer calves that are to be grazed during the summer and sold off grass as feeder or stocker yearlings. ...
• Nutritive value of forages as affected by soil and climatic differences. 

  Koch, B.A.; Smith, E.F.; Richardson, D.; Cox, R.F.; Ordoveza, A. (Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, 2011-10-31)

  This report is a summary of progress to date in one phase of the study designed to determine differences in the results obtained when cattle consume forage grown on limestone or sandstone soils. In any study of this ...
