Livestock Production Contract Checklist For South Dakota Producers, Coopeative Extension Service, South Dakota State University

SDSU Extension Circulars

Significant changes in the dynamics of the South Dakota livestock industry are providing producers an opportunity to evaluate new livestock care and feeding arrangements. Many of these arrangements involve livestock production contracts. A livestock production contract can be defined as an agreement under which a producer feeds and cares for livestock owned by a contractor in return for payment. Production contracts should be distinguished from marketing agreements, cash forward contracts, and futures contracts which involve the sale of livestock produced and owned by the producer. This checklist has been developed by Extension ag production specialists to serve as an educational …

Cattle Feeding Strategies To Cope With High-Priced Corn, Carl P. Birkelo

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Record-high corn prices and tight supplies have cattle feeders searching for alternatives to the typical high-corn finishing diets used to get cattle ready for market. Most have looked to other high-energy feeds such as by products to fill the gap. However, these have also increased in price along with corn and, in most cases, offer little savings.

Livestock Contract Feeding Arrangements, Larry Madsen, Curtis Hoyt, Alan May, Ralph Matz, Jack Davis, Burton Pfueger

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

The “share or contract feeding” arrangements have been a favorable alternative for both livestock owners and feeders for a number of years. Some feeders prefer to risk only their labor and possibly their feed, others are willing to risk the entire cost of feeding livestock but lack the necessary capital or credit. Some livestock owners find it more convenient to contract with a second party to finish their livestock for market. As in all contracts livestock feeding contracts should be fair and understood by both parties. The contract should be designed to meet specific conditions important to the livestock owner …

Ecological Balance On Individual Crop-Livestock Farms: An Idealistic Notion Or Also Practically Feasible?, Donald Taylor, Diane Rickerl

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

The following research question is examined in this article: Can one or more of eight case study integrated crop and cow-calf farms/ranches in South Dakota be simultaneously "balanced" from the standpoints of (1) amounts of manure produced "matching" (plus or minus 10%) the soil fertility needs of producers' cropland and rangeland and (2) amounts of feed-grains and roughages produced "matching" (plus or minus 10%) the nutrient needs of producers' livestock? The livestock manure production-utilization component of the study involves estimation and comparison of amounts of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) (1) available to crops and grass in the manure produced …

Feasibility Exploration: "Perfectly" Integrated Crop-Livestock Production, Donald Taylor, Diane H. Rickerl

Economics Research Reports (1969 - 2017)

In this research report, the following question is examined. Can individual integrated crop and cow-calf operations be simultaneously "balanced" from the standpoints of (1) amounts of manure produced "matching" (plus or minus 10%) the soil fertility needs of producers' cropland and rangeland and (2) amounts of feedgrains and roughages produced matching (plus or minus 10%) the nutrient needs of producers' livestock? Answers to the question were sought through examination of livestock manure production and utilization and livestock feedstuff production and consumption on eight South Dakota integrated crop-livestock case farms.

Feedlot Manure Nutrient Loadings On South Dakota Farmland, Donald Taylor, Diane Rickerl

Economics Staff Paper Series (1969 - 2017)

A key determinant of whether livestock manure is an asset or liability in agricultural production and to society more generally is the amount of manure produced relative to the nearby farmland area to which the manure can be economically transported for application. The objectives of the study reported in this article are to (1) estimate levels of manure nutrient (nitrogen = N and phosphorus = P) loadings on the cropland and rangeland associated with 78 feedlot farm operations in South Dakota and (2) determine factors, including size-of-feedlot and cropland hectarages, associated with cropland N and P loadings for the feedlots …

Assessment Of Failure Of Colostral Absorption Among Well-Managed Herds Using A Simple Screening Test, Bill Epperson, Dick Pruitt, Con Marshall, Anna Drew

South Dakota Beef Report, 1996

Failure of calves to ingest colostrum early in life is associated with an increased risk of illness and death. Colostral antibody absorption can be easily estimated with a blood sample collected after the calf is 24 hours old. This study was conducted to determine the proportion of calves born at the four SDSU beef units that were affected with inadequate passive transfer (IPT) as a result of inadequate colostral antibody absorption. Of the 333 calves, 44 were affected with IPT (1 3.2%). There were significant differences in IPT between units, suggesting that environmental factors unique to each unit may have …

Kappe_Casein And Beta-Lactoglobulin Genotype Effects On Milk Production And Maternal Calf Growth Traits In Crossbred Beef Cattle, D. A. Henderson, D. M. Marshall

South Dakota Beef Report, 1996

Cows were genotyped at the kappa-casein and beta-lactoglobulin loci and evaluated for milk yield, calf birth weight, weaning weight, and average daily gain from birth to 109 days and from birth to 21 1 days of age. The interaction of breed-group with genotype was significant for milk yield at both loci. Cow genotype and additive allelic effects were significant or approached significance for both measures of calf average daily gain and weaning weight at the kappa-casein locus. Cow genotype and additive allelic effects were significant for calf average daily gain to 109 days at the beta-lactoglobulin locus. Cow genotype approached …

Effect Of Feed Delivery Management On Yearling Steer Performance, S. J. Bierman, R. H. Pritchard

South Dakota Beef Report, 1996

Gain efficiency by cattle fed high grain diets can be affected by feed delivery management (FDM). Restricted or limit feeding improves feed efficiency but can reduce ADG. This experiment was designed to evaluate if feeding near ad libitum intake while reducing the amount of variation between daily feed deliveries could provide feed efficiency advantages over unrestricted access to feed without restricting ADG. The FDM strategies for the 121-day feeding period included prescription intakes (PI) where variability between day to day feed deliveries were minimized or ad libitum intake (ALI) where feed was always available. Crossbred yearling steers (n = 76, …

Inophore Programs For Finishing Yearling Steers, R. H. Pritchard

South Dakota Beef Report, 1996

The relative effectiveness of three ionophore feeding strategies was compared in yearling steers. Six pens of 8 steers were assigned to each of the following treatments: A) no ionophore fed, B) lasalocid (33 glT) fed for 28 days and then replaced with laidlomycin propionate (1 1 g/T) for the balance of time on feed; C) monensin (28 g/T) fed throughout, and D) laidlomycin propionate (11 g/T) fed throughout. A five diet step-up program was used that culminated in a final diet based on cracked and high moisture corn and 7% ground hay. lonophores increased (P< .05) ADG (3.9%) and carcass weight and lowered (P<.05) feed/gain 4.5% during the 135-day feeding period. Among ionophore treatments, monensin resulted in a lower (P< .05) cumulative ADG and carcass weight than diets containing laidlomycin propionate. Three of the four steers removed from the trial due to metabolic disorders were from the no ionophore treatment.
