History Of The U.S. Goat Industry, Terry A. Gipson
History Of The U.S. Goat Industry, Terry A. Gipson
Professional Agricultural Workers Journal
Abstract
Goats were first domesticated in the Fertile Crescent and then spread throughout the world. Goats were brought to North America into the southwestern U.S. in the 17th century by early Spanish explorers and clergy. These goats are the ancestors of the Spanish goat of Texas and the Lamancha breed of California. English and other European settlers also brought their goats as they moved into the eastern U.S in the 18th century. Angora goats were first imported in the U.S. in the mid-19th century and the earliest importation of officially recognized dairy goat breeds occurred in the …

Cal Poly's Western Bonanza Junior Livestock Show Hosts First Annual Livestock Auction: The Best In The West Livestock Auction, Karl W. Montague, Tatum E. Holdener
Agricultural Education and Communication
Through this senior project, the authors researched whether or not Cal Poly's Western Bonanza Junior Livestock Show's first ever livestock auction was viable. Through their research, they found the addition of a livestock show to be successful and something that should continue.
Autonomic Nervous System Reactivity In A Free-Ranging Mammal: Effects Of Dominance Rank And Personality, Elodie F. Briefer, James A. Oxley, Alan G. Mcelligott
Autonomic Nervous System Reactivity In A Free-Ranging Mammal: Effects Of Dominance Rank And Personality, Elodie F. Briefer, James A. Oxley, Alan G. Mcelligott
Alan G. McElligott, PhD
Modulation of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity allows animals to effectively respond to internal and external stimuli in everyday challenges via changes in, for example, heart and respiration rate. Various factors, ranging from social such as dominance rank to internal such as personality or affective states can impact animal physiology. Our knowledge of the combinatory effects of social and internal factors on ANS basal activity and reactivity, and of the importance that each factor has in determining physiological parameters, is limited, particularly in nonhuman, free-ranging animals. In this study, we tested the effects of dominance rank and personality (assessed …

Other On-Station Activities For Wool Pastoralists, Mark Stevens
Other On-Station Activities For Wool Pastoralists, Mark Stevens
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The impact of low wool prices has been most severe on specialist wool growers who have little scope for diversification, particularly those in the pastoral area.
Although there are limited opportunities for new enterprises on all pastoral stations, individual pastoralists are examining other on-station activities to determine which ones might be suitable. In doing so, they are evaluating:
• location (proximity to a major highway or population centre);
• natural attractions (coast, gorges, river, wildflowers);
• natural resources (native fauna and flora); and
• water supply (quantity and reliability of good quality water).
Diversification In The Woolbelt, John Allen
Diversification In The Woolbelt, John Allen
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The productivity and diversification initiative for wool growers incorporates two leves of diversification.
Greatest emphasis is placed on industry wide increases in cropping intensity and in the range of crop types grown.
The second level involves non-traditional, alternative enterprises, each offering prospects for expansion of a limited number of wool growing businesses, suited to particular parts of the woolbelt.
The alternative enterprises include floriculture, aquaculture, export hay, farm tourism, commercial timber, horticulture and new animal industries.
