The Improvement In Type Of South Dakota Dairy Cattle Through Artificial Breeding, Kenneth I. Gross Jan 1952

The Improvement In Type Of South Dakota Dairy Cattle Through Artificial Breeding, Kenneth I. Gross

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Body conformation is associated with function among all classes of livestock. Dairy cattle type deals with characteristics indicating ability to produce milk and butterfat economically along with breed character and other values of an aesthetic nature. In order to have economical milk and butterfat production, the dairy cow should possess that type of body conformation which is able to withstand the rigors of disease, reproduction and year after year milk production. A large percentage of dairy cattle sold in South Dakota and surrounding territory, whether for breeding purpose or commercial production, are evaluated primarily on the basis of their type. …

Effect On Yield And Grade Of Holding Lambs In Packer's Yards, Jonathan Harvey Glover Jan 1952

Effect On Yield And Grade Of Holding Lambs In Packer's Yards, Jonathan Harvey Glover

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The income from livestock and livestock products is of considerable importance to American agriculture. Gross farm income from the scale of livestock from the sale of livestock and livestock products constitutes over one-half of the total gross farm income. Regardless of the general economic level, livestock and livestock products are the major source of farm income in the United States and South Dakota. Because of the importance of the livestock industry to farm income in the United States and South Dakota, any research or industrial progress to improve buying methods and grading standards will be of benefit to producers and …

Immature Corn For Growing-Fattening Pigs, Charles J. Heidenreich Jan 1952

Immature Corn For Growing-Fattening Pigs, Charles J. Heidenreich

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In an attempt to utilize the full growing season and obtain greater yields , many farmers are planting late varieties of corn which require a longer growing season than often exists in South Dakota. Such late maturing varieties are more likely to be damaged by frost than the earlier maturing ones. Since 1940, early frosts have resulted in large amounts of soft corn in eastern South Dakota in five out of eleven years.

Some Mechanical And Horomonal Methods Of Dilating The Bovine Cervix, Edmund F. Graham Jan 1952

Some Mechanical And Horomonal Methods Of Dilating The Bovine Cervix, Edmund F. Graham

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The selection for certain inherited characteristics war practiced approximately 2000 years before the Christian Era. Jacob (Genesis 30:28-43) was given all the speckled cattle in his master’s herd for being herdsman. In a few years, by selecting for the spotting factor, only speckled cattle remained in the herd. Selection was the first tool for segregating definite characteristics. As a means of more rapid improvement artificial insemination was practiced by an Arabian chieftain as early as 1322 A. D. (35). Since 1322 these crude methods of transferring semen have been perfected until approximately four million cows were inseminated in the United …

Summary Of Information Given At Fortified Farming, Agricultural Extension Service, South Dakota State College

SDSU Extension Circulars

United States farmers have done heroic jobs of producing food during the past 10 years. Now our country needs even greater farm production in 1952. And for future years increasing food demands are likely. Farmers will need to produce more. At the same time we must "fortify our farming" by maintaining and building up our soil.

Marketing Lambs - Comparison Of Liveweight Method And Carcass Weight And Grade Method, O. Nervik, D. G. Paterson Dec 1951

Marketing Lambs - Comparison Of Liveweight Method And Carcass Weight And Grade Method, O. Nervik, D. G. Paterson

Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the marketing methods for lambs can be improved by selling them on the basis of carcass weights and grades instead of by live weight. The approach taken is to examine whether the present system does an adequate job in reflecting to sellers the actual wholesale values of the carcasses. However, before a recommendation can be made, it will also be necessary to examine whether the carcass weight and grade method is practical. If the cost of the latter method is found to be too high, the benefits from the added accuracy …

Agricultural Productive Capacity 1955 South Dakota, South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

Our agricultural resources have a strategic role to play in the present mobilization effort. Even a partial military mobilization calls for a large increase in food. Our population has increased by 20 million people since 1940. Our civilian per capita food consumption is up 13 percent, our agricultural exports are up 50 percent above the 1935-39 average and food surpluses have largely disappeared. Estimates of our agricultural productive capacity are needed to determine whether such capacity is great enough to meet future needs and to help the nation make wise decisions concerning such vital questions as these: 1. How much …

Gifts For Family And Friends, Anna D. Walker Sep 1951

Gifts For Family And Friends, Anna D. Walker

SDSU Extension Circulars

Part of the joy in giving gifts comes from the making of something special for a friend or family member. The giving of gifts to mark such events as anniversaries, Christmas and Easter is a long established custom. Looking back into history, we read that tribute was given to show homage to royalty and other people of importance. It was thought that the rarer and richer the gift, the greater was the love and respect shown. Rare spices, perfumes, gold and jewels obtained by the giver at great expense and often much hardship were considered suitable gifts for royalty. People …

Father-Son Farm Partnerships, Russell L. Berry Jun 1951

Father-Son Farm Partnerships, Russell L. Berry

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

Can parents help their sons and daughters get started farming? The answer is yes.

Cows, Calves And Grass: Effects Of Grazing Intensities On Beef Cow And Calf Production And On Mixed Prairie Vegetation On Western South Dakota Ranges, L. E. Johnson, L. R. Albee, R. O. Smith, A. L. Moxon

Research Bulletins of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station (1887-2011)

This bulletin reports the results of a 9-year summer grazing experiment on native ranges in western South Dakota. The experiment was designed to determine the effects of climate and different intensities of grazing on (1) beef production, (2) maintenance of range condition, and (3) foliage yields. Hereford cows and calves were used in the experiment. The work was conducted at the Cottonwood Range Field Station which is located slightly south of the center of western South Dakota and midway between the Missouri River and the Black Hills. It is in the upper watershed of the Bad River.
