A Forecasting-Programming Method For Placement-Sales Decisions For A Beef Feedlot, Franz Schwarz, J. B. Hassler

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

This bulletin reports on a practical multi-period linear programming procedure as a management tool for decisions on placements and marketings for a beef feedlot operating over time under market uncertainty. Although the conclusions were based on application to an individual firm with uniqueness in time and space, the model should be equally appropriate for any firm's production and marketing decisions through time.

Physical And Chemical Properties Of Outdoor Beef Cattle Feedlot Runoff, C. B. Gilbertson, J. R. Ellis, J. A. Nienaber, T. M. Mccalla, T. J. Klopfenstein

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

Within the past decade, emphasis has been placed on the quality of our environment. Beef cattle feedlots have been singled out as a significant source of environmental pollution. Environmental protection provided by control facilities requires basic knowledge of the physical and chemical properties of feedlot runoff. This bulletin summarizes studies of physical and chemical properties of beef cattle feedlot runoff completed from August, 1968 through December, 1972.
