Lamb Growth Efficiency And Optimum Finished Weight, Jeff Held

South Dakota Sheep Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1999

In the sheep enterprise, lamb sales account for more than 90 percent of gross revenue. Most analyses indicate profitable sheep production is dependent on market prices, pounds of lamb weaned or sold per ewe exposed and the unit cost of production. Producers have little control annually over selling price for their lambs, but they do control production efficiency. Ewe productivity and ewe/lamb feed cost containment are important parameters for all types of flock management systems whether a feeder lamb or finished lamb production emphasis. It is important to excel in each area independent of the type of operation . The …

A Comparison Of Fall Vs Spring Lambing Performance Of Hampshire And Columbia Ewes (Progress Report), A. L. Slyter, Chad Miller, Rud Wasson

South Dakota Sheep Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1999

Seasonality of lamb production continues to be a major hurdle for the sheep industry. The lack of a continuous supply of fresh lamb impacts both the processing and retail segments of the industry. The seasonal fluctuation in supply and quality results in sporadic buying patterns by consumers and ultimately less shelf space and therefore less product in the meat case. Often lamb cuts are not available in retail outlets or only on a seasonal basis making sustained consumption levels difficult. In many cases seasonal production also results in inefficient use of facilities, labor and management for the producer. This study …

Planning Prices And Livestock Budgets For Farm Management Programs, Burton Pflueger

SDSU Extension Circulars

The budgets in this publication are based on approved farming practices and nutritionally balanced rations. Feed ingredients are priced on their comparative feed values. Com is used as the base for feed grain and other grains are priced based on their relative feed value to com. Alfalfa hay is used as the base for roughage. All roughage and succulents are priced as a percent of alfalfa hay. The livestock husbandman who uses the least-cost rations should not see significant changes in profitability by interchanging feed ingredients.

Wool Vs. Lamb Production, Rodney Kott, Pat Hatfield, Mike Schuldt

South Dakota Sheep Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1999

Most sheep produce a merchandisable, usable fiber. However, the amount and quality varies from extremely high levels in sheep such as the Australian Merino to the meat-type breeds that usually produce minimal amounts of fiber. Most of the variation in fiber producing ability of sheep is a result of selection. Emphasis placed on fiber production in the U.S. varies greatly. The part that fiber production should play in a production system in the present and future of the sheep industry is subject to a great deal of debate among both producers and academicians.

Dakota Ram Test Program Final Reports: 1997-98 And 1998-99, Jeff Held

South Dakota Sheep Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1999

The Dakota Ram Testing program was established primarily to identify differences in wool traits for rams managed under the same environmental conditions and plane of nutrition and, secondly, to measure postweaning growth rate as indicated by weight gain. An added feature is evaluation of animal carcass merit using real-time ultrasound technology.

Networking In The Sheep Industry, Mike Caskey

South Dakota Sheep Field Day Proceedings and Research Reports, 1999

The sheep business, like all of agriculture, is changing rapidly. It is becoming obvious that in order for sheep producers to continue to make a living raising sheep they must increase flock size, employ superior genetics and state of the art technology, reduce input costs, utilize sound business strategies and access a stable market price for lamb and wool. We need to start making these changes in order to remain economically competitive in the future. The sheep industry is just starting to move from a commodity to a product oriented industry. As this shift develops it will require producers to …

Health Risks Of Drinking Raw (Unpasterurized) Milk, Kelly Namminga, E. Kim Cassel

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Why be concerned about drinking raw milk? All milk and milk products have the potential to transmit pathogenic (disease-causing) organisms to humans. All the nutritional components that make milk and milk products an important part of the human diet also support the growth of these pathogenic organisms. People who prefer, for whatever reason, to drink raw milk face the greatest risk of contact with these pathogens. Dairy producers selling or giving raw milk to friends and relatives put them at risk for foodborne illness.

Alternative Energy And Protein Sources For Feeding Beef Cattle, C.P. Birkelo, K. Herrick

Agricultural Experiment Station Circulars (1920-1915)

Sharp increases in the price of common feeds such as corn and soybean meal periodically push cattle feeders to consider less common alternatives for feedlot diets. Besides local availability and price, other factors, including but not limited to, processing, maximum feeding rates, and nutrient composition, must be considered when deciding whether or not alternative feeds are a good buy. The following are some less common feeds and a discussion of their characteristics that would affect their use in growing and finishing diets for cattle.
