Consumer Education: Who Needs It?, Cooperative Extension South Dakota State University

SDSU Extension Fact Sheets

Times have changed. So have prices. Before inflation and the shrinking dollar really hit South Dakota, many of us were less concerned with consumer education. Now we are more concerned. The times have hit us where it hurts the most--in the pocketbook. We 're just beginning to realize the importance of being a smart shopper. And, an educated consumer.

Factors Affecting Poultry Meat Yields, C. W. Carlson, W. W. Marion, B. F. Miller, T. L. Goodwin

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

It has been 10 years since the previous publication bearing this title was issued. A quote from that publication, “…research reported 10 or more years ago is of questionable value because of the rapid progress made by the poultry industry…”, indicates that an updated review is now necessary. Information in that publication is not repeated here. The earlier report is still of much value, especially as it pertains to methodology and guidelines for comparing yield data.
Although many of the same frustrations persist, in that "all conditions of the research reported are not spelled out in the original articles and …

Developing Replacement Beef Heifers, Cooperative Extension South Dakota State University

SDSU Extension Fact Sheets

The first winter following weaning is a period of special concern in the growth and development of replacement heifers, particularly for those to be bred as yearlings. Sufficient growth and development of young beef heifers through the first winter reflect proper nutrition plus good health and sanitation practices that will hold sickness and death losses to a minimum.

Pine Needle Abortion Among Cows Grazing Foothill Ranges, L. D. Kamstra, C. Cogswell

South Dakota Cow-Calf Field Day Proceedings, 1975

The frequent occurrence of pine needle abortion in cattle grazing foothill ranges having tree stands of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) causes management problems for many ranchers in South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho, and California as well as many areas in Canada. Surveys (1973-75) covering eight counties in western South Dakota and eastern Wyoming indicate the area loss to be approximately 700 calves annually even with good management to prevent pregnant cows from consuming pine needles. Loss of the cow as well from infection of a retained placenta is not unusual. In 1975, for example, one rancher lost 38 calves from …

The Cattleman And Dystocia, Leslie Ball

South Dakota Cow-Calf Field Day Proceedings, 1975

There are many factors which contribute to dystocia (calving difficulty). The cattleman should be aware of these factors so he can make sound management decisi0ns and reduce loss. In fact, losses from dystocia extend far beyond death loss in cows and calves. There are significant hidden losses of a more subtle nature. In cows with dystocia at the San Juan Basin Experiment Station, calving interval was increased 13 days, calves were 32 pounds lighter at weaning and 14% more were open than cows with normal calving histories. Data from the Meat Experiment Station at Clay Center indicates the same type …

Effect Of Breed Of Sire, Level Of Postweaning Nutrition And Type Of Birth On Ewe Growth And Lambing Performance At 12, 24 And 36 Months Of Age, D. G. Levis, A. L. Slyter

South Dakota Sheep Field Day Research Reports, 1975

A research project was designed and initiated in the fall of 1970 to evaluate the effect of breed of sire, level of pre- and postweaning nutrition, age at first breeding and type of birth on subsequent reproductive performance of the eww. The growth of the ewe, wool production and lambing performance data of the ewes at 12, 24, and 36 months of age will be reported in this paper.

Alternative Pasture And Forage Systems, Cooperative Extension South Dakota State University

SDSU Extension Fact Sheets

Livestock numbers, feed prices and land prices in South Dakota have been increasing annually, but the number of acres available for production of feed and forage has not. Cattle numbers have passed the 5.5 million mark for the first time in 40 years. Feed costs have doubled and, in some cases, tripled in the last year or so. Livestock prices have not increased materially and the livestock producer is in the biggest cost-price squeeze that he has experienced in many years.

Calving Two-Year-Old Heifers, Cooperative Extension South Dakota State University

SDSU Extension Fact Sheets

With good management and proper nutrition, calving beef heifers at two years of age can be an advantage for South Dakota cattlemen. Many producers successfully utilize this breeding replacement plan to improve production efficiency and increase profits. Others encounter numerous problems, and for some attempts to calve two-year-olds will be disappointing. Success will depend on breeding, feeding, and management practices.

Factors Affecting Efficiency To Weaning In Angus, Charolais, And Reciprocal Cross Cows, Douglas A. Marshall

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to gain understanding of the variables affecting efficiency of cows and production of their calves to weaning. Specific effects of cow size, condition and milk production on efficiency were examined along with reproductive performance of the experimental females to determine net weaning efficiency. An attempt was also made to examine traits that could be used in practical situations to detect differences in cow efficiency. Considerable research has been conducted to evaluate post weaning efficiency of nutrient utilization, but due to expense and time requirements individual feeding of cows and their progeny has been limited. …
