Three Beef Raising Systems For Butterfat Producing Properties, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Three Beef Raising Systems For Butterfat Producing Properties, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THREE-QUARTERS of the calves born in autumn on butterfat farms are not required as milking replacements and are thus available for beef production or immediate sale, at about $20 a head.
The profit from selling beef must be compared with that from selling excess calves off their mothers.
Such a comparison is being made by Department of Agriculture Beef Research Officer D. J. Barker in a series of trials at Bramley Research Station, Margaret River.
High Pre-Mating Liveweights Improve The Lambing Performance Of Merino Ewes, R J. Suiter
High Pre-Mating Liveweights Improve The Lambing Performance Of Merino Ewes, R J. Suiter
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Analysis of lambing trials with Merino ewes has shown a highly significant association between pre-mating liveweight and lambing performance.
With May-June lambing ewes there was a 2.9 per cent, lambing increase for every extra 10 lb. liveweight; for July-August- September lambing ewes there was a 6.9 per cent, increase for every 10 lb. liveweight increase.
With the May-June lambing there was a critical weight below which twinning was negligible.

This experiment was done at Merredin Research Station to develop and test a method of rationing standing crops to sheep, and also to find whether rationing would reduce the sheep's water consumption.
The experiment involved 60 sheep on 12 one-acre plots of drought affected Gamenya wheat.

Many District Advisers have carried out trials on private farms to test the response to a variety of types of supplementary feeds. This report gives brief details of five such experiments carried out with urea supplements over the last five years. Table 1 summarises the details and results of these trials.
