G73-27 Hedging Vs. Cash Contracts, Lynn H. Lutgen

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This NebGuide examines the advantages and disadvantages of hedging versus cash contracts.

There is substantial risk in agricultural production and marketing. Weather, insects, disease, world conditions and other circumstances can affect production and costs.

The actual market price which will exist when the commodity being produced is ready for sale is also unknown. Good management can at least partially compensate for the uncertainty associated with these and other unknowns.

The objective is to discuss two alternatives available to producers for reducing the market gamble or market risk. The alternatives are (1) hedging on the futures market and, (2) selling on …

The selection of a site for a livestock feedlot directly affects the success of the feedlot.

The selection of a site for a livestock feedlot directly affects the success of the feedlot.

Factors to consider in choosing a feedlot location include: environmental considerations, streams, topography, water supply, land area, towns and zoning laws. Other items include a source of livestock and feed, transportation (roads), marketing facilities. Finally the operator must determine the size to build with provision for expansion.

The Pierre-Niobrara Unconformity In Western Nebraska, Harold M. Degraw

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

The Pierre-Niobrara unconformity, one of several significant unconformities in the Cretaceous System of the Western Interior region, has not generally been recognized. Detailed correlation of electric logs of a large number of wells in western Nebraska provides evidence of its existence. Isopach maps of the beds occupying three identifiable stratigraphic intervals - a redefined Niobrara Formation, an unnamed uppermost Niobrara unit, and an unnamed basal Pierre unit, which includes the Ardmore Bentonite - provide recognizable geologic patterns that permit reconstruction of the stages of development of the unconformity. The upper part of the Niobrara Formation has been truncated in several …

Relationship Between Weight And 40K Count In Steers , R. K. Johnson, L. E. Walters, J. V. Whiteman

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

Thirty-six Angus-Hereford steers were fed four diets of different potassium concentration for 2-week periods such that each steer received each diet for a 2-week period. The relationship between ⁴⁰K count loss and weight loss during a 24-hr. shrink period was evaluated by regression analysis. At the end of each of the four feeding periods the steers ,were weighed and ⁴⁰K counted unshrunk and again after 24-hr. shrink.

The mean weight loss during shrink was similar for all treatments (overall mean of 22.8 kg), however the mean ⁴⁰K count loss was larger for the high potassium diets than …

Factors For Extending In-Progress Lactation Records To A 305-Day Equivalent, Jeffrey F. Keown, L. Dale Van Vleck

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

Paper for Presentation at the 64th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Animal Science. The data consisted of 204,558 complete Holstein lactations in 2,100 herds compiled by the New York Dairy Records Processing Laboratory from 1959 to 1969. All lactation records had to have a 9th or 10th test day present to be regarded as complete. The generalized least squares analysis used a model including effects due to the mean, herd-year and season-age-stage of freshening which were assumed to be fixed. The error term included the random effects due to the cow and residual. Generalized least squares estimates for …

Reproductive Efficiency And Viability In Two Bos Indicus And Two Bos Taurus Breeds In The Tropics Of India And Colombia, L. (Lemka) Hamed, R. E. Mcdowell, L. Dale Van Vleck, H. Guha, J. J. Salazar

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

Records from two herds in India and two in Columbia representing respectively two breeds of Bos indicus (Hariana and Deshi) and two Bos taurus breeds—Blanco Orejinegro (BON) and Costeño Con Cuernos (CCC) were evaluated for breeding efficiency and viability. Average age at first calving was 52.1, 46.3, 39.5 and 40.7 months for Hariana, Deshi, CCC and BON. Season of birth did not influence age at calving. Ranking for calving interval was similar, average 479, 418, 396 and 382 days with season effects significant (P<.05) for only Deshi. BON and CCC had fewer days open but much shorter lactation periods, average 73 and 157, thus days carried calf in lactation were similar for all breeds. Percent of time dry per calving interval was high for all breeds, 44.2, 36.7, 64.1 and 81.0 for Hariana, Deshi, BON and CCC. Average annual mortality of females by 12 months of age was 23.6% for Hariana, 17.0% Deshi and 27.0% BON. In the same herds 46.4%, 51.1% and 49.0% of females born alive lived to first calving and annual losses among cows were 18.0%, 17.0%, and 21.0%; therefore, affording little opportunity for selection among females. Temperament, as determined by response to the milking process with and without the calf present, showed all the breeds were similar in this respect. Environmental effects were most important for all traits but genetic differences were indicated for age at first calving and milk yield. On a theoretical basis little gain could be expected in net dairy merit from crosses between the Columbian and Indian breeds.

Genetic Aspects Of Beef Production Among Holstein-Friesians Pedigree Selected For Milk Production, L. L. Calo, R. E. Mcdowell, L. Dale Van Vleck, P. D. Miller

Department of Animal Science: Faculty Publications

To explore the potential of cattle to produce both milk and beef, the genetic aspects of beef production among Holstein-Friesian bulls pedigree selected for milk were studied. The data included growth records of 504 bulls (DPT) by 120 sires (SPT) pedigree selected for progeny testing by American Breeders Service, 1964 to 1971. DPT bulls with proofs had an average predicted difference for milk (PMD) of +180 kilograms. The daughter average was 7,273 kg per lactation under varying herd conditions. Sires accounted for 10% of the variation in average daily gain (ADG), 10% in daily gain per 100 kg body weight …
