Preparing Bulls For The Breeding Season, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
With proper care prior to and during the breeding season, cattlemen can increase the breeding capacity of bulls. Breeding soundness evaluations and trichomoniasis testing are tools which can aid a herd manager as he makes critical decisions for next year’s calf crop.
Copper Deficiency In Utah, Clell Bagley, Norris Stenquist, Dennis Worwood
Copper Deficiency In Utah, Clell Bagley, Norris Stenquist, Dennis Worwood
All Current Publications
Copper deficiency has been diagnosed in a number of Utah cattle herds, yet few producers use copper supplements. Cattle deficient in the element can suffer significant production losses. Producers need to balance both the effects and the costs of copper supplements. Too much copper can cause copper toxicity or poisoning. And adding copper may not be economical if animals are only marginally deficient. Further, the deficiency may occur only on specific feeds or pastures, correcting itself when cattle are moved.
Halogeton Toxicity In Cattle, Clell Bagley
Halogeton Toxicity In Cattle, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
“Everyone” knows that halogeton is toxic to sheep, but sometimes we forget that it is also toxic for cattle. If cattle eat enough of it, it will kill them. One autumn incident resulted in the death of over 40 head of cows in a multiple owner grazing herd.
Health Programs Which Improve The Marketability Of Calves, Clell Bagley
Health Programs Which Improve The Marketability Of Calves, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
The “winds of change” have the potential to drastically change the marketing of beef calves in the next few years. Economic pressures may force greater conformity in the way cow-calf producers manage and prepare their calves for market. Those who are slow to conform may be at a disadvantage for marketing.
Infectious Cattle Diseases And Vaccines, Clell Bagley
Infectious Cattle Diseases And Vaccines, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
Vaccines are available for 20 to 30 infectious diseases of cattle. With the various brand names and different combinations available, the choice of vaccines can become very complicated. Calves vaccinated under 6 months of age should generally be re-vaccinated again after that age to provide a longer lasting immunity.
Weak Calf Syndrome Or Bvd Fetal Infection, Clell Bagley
Weak Calf Syndrome Or Bvd Fetal Infection, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
A serious health problem of newborn calves was recognized 20 years ago and termed “weak calf syndrome”(WCS). The Bovine Virus Diarrhea (BVD) virus was often isolated from affected calves and from these herds. In recent years, veterinarians have again been looking at the effects of the BVD virus on the fetus.
Disease Resistance In Cattle, Clell Bagley
Disease Resistance In Cattle, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
The ability of cattle to resist the many disease processes to which they are exposed is truly amazing. And yet, when several adverse factors combine, this resistance can be overcome and result in a herd disaster which is just as amazing. This discussion will be broken down into four major areas. But it is the combined functioning of all four areas that actually provides disease resistance.
Calf Scours Simplified, Clell Bagley
Calf Scours Simplified, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
Virtually stacks of material have been written about calf scours and yet it remains as one of the major problems for beef calves. Enough is now known that we should be able to prevent or at least control the great majority of scours outbreak problems.

Mastitis Prevention Program, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
A great deal of money and effort have been expended over the years to find methods for control of mastitis in dairy cows. Both European and U.S. workers have developed programs of prevention that are very similar. These preventive programs require implementation of the seven basic procedures outlined below.

Dystocia (Difficult Lambing), Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
If the flock is lambed on the range, assistance is not given to individual ewes. Catching those needing help causes so much disruption of ewes with normal lambs and results in so many orphans, it is detrimental. One of the primary advantages of shed lambing a range flock is being able to better assist during birth and those first crucial hours of life.
Reproductive Diseases Of Sheep, Clell Bagley
Reproductive Diseases Of Sheep, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
Diseases which reduce the reproduction rate are common in Utah flocks. The major problem seen in the ewes is abortion. With rams, the major disease affecting reproduction is ram epididymitis.
Breeding Soundness In Rams: How To Do It..., Clell Bagley
Breeding Soundness In Rams: How To Do It..., Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
In order for ram breeding soundness examinations to be of maximum value to producers they must be relatively thorough as well as consistent. There is so much normal variation between rams that we cannot afford to add additional variability by lack of observation or inconsistent techniques.

Internal parasites and how they affect animals.
Obstetrics And Lambing Problems, Clell Bagley
Obstetrics And Lambing Problems, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
Lambing season is a busy time and a critical step toward a productive year. The first rule is for frequent observation of ewes due to lamb. Extra help during this season will usually more than pay for the cost because of extra lambs saved.

Dealing With Drought And Short Feed Supplies For Beef Cattle, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
Weather patterns greatly impact feed supplies for almost all areas of Utah. Both grazing and harvested feed supplies are usually reduced with drought conditions. The hay QUALITY may actually be improved because of the excellent drying conditions for harvest. Taking good care of hay supplies to protect that quality may allow use of less feed in the winter to achieve acceptable results.

Unexpected Connections: Considering Employees' Personal Lives Can Revitalize Your Business, Lotte Bailyn, Joyce K. Fletcher, Doborah Kolb
ADVANCE Library Collection
Efforts to integrate work and personal life affect people at all organizational levels. Traditional approaches seem to exacerbate the problem by pitting employee and business goals against each other.

In a research project, Bailyn et al. worked with a company known for leading-edge employee benefits to find out why employees were not fully using those benefits. At each site, they collaborated to help employees better integrate work with personal lives and help the site meet its business goals. They helped …

Observation Of Direct Instruction Teaching Behaviors: Determining A Representative Sample Of Time For Supervision, N. E. Marchand-Martella, R. Martella, Benjamin Lignugaris / Kraft
Special Education and Rehabilitation Counseling Faculty Publications
The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal amount of time a supervisor needed to observe a teacher to obtain a representative sample of his teaching behaviors while Direct Instruction was provided. These data were gathered across two Direct Instruction programs—Spelling and Reading Mastery—presented by a teacher with over 10 years of Direct Instruction experience. A Direct Instruction observation instrument and rating form were used to gather and summarize these data across 3-, 6-, 9-, 12-, 15-, 18-, 21-, and 24-min observation sessions. Results indicated that although there were minor variations in the percentages of teacher behaviors and …

Bovine Respiratory Disease, Clell Bagley
Bovine Respiratory Disease, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
Disease of the respiratory tract is a major problem for cattle and it continues to cause serious economic losses for producers. Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) causes increased death losses as well as medication costs, labor, and lost production. Many different infectious agents may cause similar clinical signs. Multiple agents are often involved in the development of BRD.
