Grazing System And Management For Goat Production, Steve Hart
Grazing System And Management For Goat Production, Steve Hart
Professional Agricultural Workers Journal
Abstract Grazing system management is for supplying inexpensive, adequate nutrition for the goat enterprise. This involves managing forages to facilitate dry matter production and managing grazing so forage quality is adequate and harvest efficiency is high while avoiding consuming internal parasites. Since nutrient costs are greatest for winter, the grazing system should be planned to provide some grazing during winter. The forage system should be managed to provide the greatest proportion of nutrients possible during kidding and lactation. The base forage species can be overseeded with cool-season or leguminous species to improve forage production, quality or the seasonal distribution of …

Ranch Management Practices In The Sandhills Of Nebraska: Managing Production, Sean A. Coady, Richard T. Clark
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
This report represents the second in a two-part series that summarize a comprehensive survey of Nebraska Sandhills range cattle operations. The focus of this report is on management of the production aspects of the ranch business and provides details on pasture and meadow management, hay production, crops, breeding programs, nutritional programs, and maintaining the health of the herd.
Bromegrass Production In Nebraska, A. L. Frolik, L. C. Newell
Bromegrass Production In Nebraska, A. L. Frolik, L. C. Newell
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
A native of the old world, from central Europe to China, bromegrass was introduced into the United States about 1884. In 1899, the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station reported that "all things considered, it is the most promising cultivated pasture grass for this state that has been tested on the Station farm." Early records of the Station show that considerable seed was distributed to farmers during the period from 1898 to 1902. A few of these early plantings are still in existence. Bromegrass increased in popularity in Nebraska until about 1910. Very little interest was shown in this crop during the …
Selection, Breeding, Methods Means More Milk, H. P. Davis
Selection, Breeding, Methods Means More Milk, H. P. Davis
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Milk good cows. It pays if you know how. Good dairy cows will always make money. Scrub, poor, or common cows never bring a good profit and usually cause a loss. Why waste feed and labor on inefficient producers, the kind that never make a satisfactory profit? Join a cow testing association. Let the tester keep books on your cows and let the milk scale and the milk sheet point out the money makers. Improvement comes only from selection and breeding.
Dairy Calf Care And Management, H. P. Davis, R. F. Morgan
Dairy Calf Care And Management, H. P. Davis, R. F. Morgan
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Calf raising begins before the calf is born. A cow that is healthy and in good physical condition will, in all probability, drop a strong, vigorous calf. The feeding and care of the cow before calving is therefore of the greatest importance for the future development of the calf.
Feeding The Dairy Cow, H. P. Davis
Feeding The Dairy Cow, H. P. Davis
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Cows produce milk from feed and water only. Therefore feed in proper quantity and quality is usually the limiting factor governing a cow's production up to the limit of her capacity.
