Vaccination Program For Beef Calves (2001 - Clell Bagley), Clell Bagley

All Current Publications

Vaccines are an important tool to use in herd health programs for the protection of animal health. However, vaccines do not prevent all disease by themselves, and should be used in conjunction with good management practices. The timing of vaccination and selection of product are important considerations.

Video Ordering Information For Realizing The Impact Of Injection Site Lesions, Clell Bagley

All Current Publications

Injection of almost any drug or solution into the muscles of a food animal will result in scar tissue formation and some residual lesion in those muscle tissues. These lesions are very displeasing to consumers if found in meat products. Their presence also contributes to loss of tenderness for much of the remainder of the cut of meat. If found during processing, the lesions can be trimmed out but this still results in trim loss and increased labor costs for the processor.

Videotape - 'The Milkingschool', Clell Bagley

All Current Publications

We recently produced a videotape here at USU, titled ìThe Milking School.î It contains both English and Spanish language versions (30 and 33 minutes). The videotape is focused on teaching novice personnel how to milk cows. There is a brief overview of milking equipment and a small segment on handling cows. Most of the information is on the step by step procedure of cow preparation and management of the milking equipment on the cow. The goal was to avoid ìtalking heads and show the cows, equipment, workers and very specific steps - and to make it available in Spanish as …

Realizing The Impact Of Injection Site Lesions, Clell Bagley

All Current Publications

A major effort has been made by the beef industry in recent years to reduce the economic loss from injection site lesions. Injections of almost any vaccine or medication causes some lesion. The extent, severity and economic loss of the resulting lesion can be greatly reduced with cleanliness and by use of careful techniques for the placement of product into specific, designated sites.

Leasing And Valuing Swine Facilities, Bruce B. Johnson, Allen Prosch, Ron Christensen

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This NebGuide provides an overview of factors to consider when setting rent levels or placing appropriate market value on swine facilities when a purchase is being considered or negotiated.

Assigning appropriate rents and values to farm buildings has always been challenging because of the diversity of building inventories, as well as the selective demand for these structures. For swine facilities, the challenge has even grown as buildings have become increasingly specialized in efforts to improve animal performance.

When evaluating a swine facility for leasing or valuation, several things must be considered, such as environmental and zoning compliance, location, site, condition …

Nf01-482 "Banned Mammalian Protein" - What Does It Mean?, Rosie Nold, David R. Smith

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

For a number of years, 4-H members exhibiting livestock have signed an Ethics Affidavit and Statement of Disclosure. This disclosure has asked exhibitors to certify that they have not used any non-approved drugs on their animals and that if any approved drugs were used, the withdrawal time had passed. In 2001, an additional statement was added to the affidavits.

Nf01-476 Creating A Strong: Family How To Be Nice, John Defrain

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

When we're upset about something, which is inevitable in life, the path of least resistance is to get angry and lash out at other people. Loved ones, amazingly, take the brunt of all this anger because if we were to act this way at work or school, we would soon be shown the door.Under stress we regress, as the saying goes. We regress to the vicious and foolish behavior we learned on the playground, among other places, when we were young children. I must admit that when I see adults act in ways that would make a well-behaved 7-year-old shudder, …

Nf01-477 Creating A Strong Family: We Are One, John Defrain

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Though the benefits of long-term commitment to each other are great, the price we pay for this high value we place on our loved ones is not small, by any stretch of the imagination. When we lose a cherished loved one, the feelings of loss can be overwhelming. These feelings, though they may soften over time, still reside in our private souls. A warm and sad spirit. An undercurrent of melancholy that we carry with us as long as we live.

Nf01-472 Growing Annual Flowers, Anne Streich, Susan D. Schoneweis, Steven Rodie

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Annual flowers can be a prime source of color to accent and enliven a home's landscape. While flowering trees and shrubs provide short bursts of color, most annuals begin blooming within a month of planting and flower until frost. The wide range of colors, sizes and species adapted to either sun or shade makes it possible to plant annual flowers almost anywhere. Annuals are perfect for beds, borders, rock gardens, window boxes, hanging baskets or as temporary ground covers and fillers.
