Comparison Of Alternative Beef Cattle Systems For Western South Dakota Ranches, Grant L. Cornelius Feb 1964

Comparison Of Alternative Beef Cattle Systems For Western South Dakota Ranches, Grant L. Cornelius

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

Speculation often arises among ranchers that an increase in size of operation, a change from one type of system to another, or a modification of the present type of system may be profitable. This speculation is caused by cost and price changes which reduce net returns and make other types of operations appear to be more profitable. The objective of this study is to develop cost and return estimates of common types of cattle ranching systems and thereby determine whether such speculation is well founded.

Build Financial Security, Mildred Novotny Jan 1964

Build Financial Security, Mildred Novotny

SDSU Extension Circulars

Financial security means different things to different people. Some families and individuals feel secure if they have a steady job, own their home, or if they are free from debt. Whatever financial security means to you, it is likely associated with peace of mind and confidence that you can provide for your family's needs, desires, and responsibilities. No one can foretell your expenses of a Iifetime, but you can expect a basic pattern of expenses during the family life cycle. A plan for meeting these expenses is the first step toward building financial security.

Characterization Of Staphylococcus Species Isolated From Raw Milk With Special Reference To The Enterotoxigenic Coagulase-Positive Types, Adnan M. Ammouri

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Numerous reports from many parts of the world have described the occurrence of outbreaks of staphylococcus food poisoning. Some studies have incriminated raw milk as a reservoir of the staphylococcus organisms as the vehicle of transmission. Recently Cheddar cheese has been implicated as the contaminating agent in food poisoning outbreaks traced to dairy products. The frequency of outbreaks of staphylococcus food poisoning has stimulated interest in the characterization of members of the staphylococcus genus. The strains particularly important are those capable of production an enterotoxin. In order to determine the strains of staphylococcus organisms isolated from raw milk which are …

The Effect Of Frozen Storage On The Microflora Of Raw Milk, Jaswant Singh Jan 1964

The Effect Of Frozen Storage On The Microflora Of Raw Milk, Jaswant Singh

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The proper handling of milk samples prior to bacterial analysis has been somewhat of a problem to dairy processors of South Dakota. There have been, and still are, many queries by these people about the treatment of o milk sample prior to the determination of a bacterial count. Should the milk samples be frozen prior to determining the number of bacteria? If it is feasible, what effect will the freezing have on the number of bacteria found? No tangible information about this problem has been found in the literature. Standard procedure emphasize mainly the icing of milk sample before analyzing …

Comparative Study Of Milk Quality Tests On Manufacturing Grade Raw Milk, Donald L. Wallace Jan 1964

Comparative Study Of Milk Quality Tests On Manufacturing Grade Raw Milk, Donald L. Wallace

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

One criterion used to determine the quality of milk is based upon its bacterial content. This immediately emphasizes the problems of determining milk quality. Bacteriological tests are, at best, only estimates of the number or the activity of the organisms present. Since its introduction to South Dakota dairy farms, the bulk tank has continued to increase in popularity. Its increased acceptance has caused new problems in determining milk quality. The bulk tank allows the farmer to cool the milk faster and more efficiently than ever before, thereby limiting bacterial growth. Quality tests should not only differentiate between good and poor …

Marketing And Other Factors Affecting The Cattle Feeding Enterprise In Eastern South Dakota, Gerald Marousek Oct 1963

Marketing And Other Factors Affecting The Cattle Feeding Enterprise In Eastern South Dakota, Gerald Marousek

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

The marketing aspects of the cattle feeding operation are vitally important to its financial success. Decisions concerning transportation rates, grade specifications, market information, and many others cannot be made or put into effect by individual action. Often financial, legislative, and legal considerations are involved. In order to gain knowledge concerning the marketing aspects of cattle feeding in South Dakota, the cooperation of established feeders was sought. Cooperators supplied information on present and expected future operations, both individual and for the geographic area over which they had knowledge.

Cost Of Producing And Marketing Finished Beef In Relation To Consuming Areas, David A. Myers

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

South Dakota exports a large part of its agricultural production. The commodities exported and the form in which they are exported are determinants of the returns producers receive for the employment of their resources. The objectives of this study were: (1) To determine the principal costs for bringing beef cattle from 400 pound weight to a finished weight of 1150 pounds in South Dakota and in other selected areas. Two main categories of cost are purchase price of the animal and feed costs. (2) To compare the cost of marketing beef produced in South Dakota with beef produced in selected …

Variability Of Feed Grain And Forage Production In South Dakota, Edward Dailey Oct 1963

Variability Of Feed Grain And Forage Production In South Dakota, Edward Dailey

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

The volume of feed grain and roughage production varies from year to year and the variation in South Dakota is sizable. This variation has a bearing on the extent to which cattle feeding is carried out in South Dakota. It helps to explain why different areas or regions have unlike rates of expansion. It is important that this variation be recognized for there are a number of sound farm management practices which can be used to reduce instability and uncertainty. Feeders in some areas must make more provisions to increase stability than others. Stabilization of feed grain and roughage availability …

The Family And Free Time, Merle Gunsalus

SDSU Extension Circulars

Today Americans have more leisure than any people have ever had; yet they seem to find little real enjoyment in what they do. A recent observation suggests that the poverty-stricken may soon be replaced by the leisure-stricken. People are indulging in more activities, going more places, spending more money than ever before; yet few recognize the need for more thoughtfulness about the use of leisure time in family living.

Effectiveness Of An Aspergillus Oryzae Culture On The Preservation Efficiency And Feeding Value Of Alfalfa-Brome Haylage Stored In Gas-Tight And Concrete Stave Silos, Samuel C. Perry Jan 1963

Effectiveness Of An Aspergillus Oryzae Culture On The Preservation Efficiency And Feeding Value Of Alfalfa-Brome Haylage Stored In Gas-Tight And Concrete Stave Silos, Samuel C. Perry

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

High-quality forage is essential in feeding dairy cattle if dairymen intend to increase milk production or to maintain a high level of production. Problems of preserving high-quality forage for the winter feeding of livestock occur each year. The preservation of legumes and grasses as hay is governed by a number of factors: (1) curing weather, (2) state of maturity of the crops, and (3) other factors such as equipment available and methods of handling the crop. The inability of dairymen to control these factors results in heavy nutrient loses in the hays during the curing process due primarily to leaching …

Guests At Home, Ruth B. Amidon

SDSU Extension Circulars

Folks used to sit and visit after a heavy meal. Even in the rush of harvest time men stretched in the shade, and rested and visited a bit. Women relaxed and visited while the dish water heated on the stove. We adults have the responsibility of taking the good from the past and adjusting it to new conditions. Many of us can't have the whole family together for every meal. How can a person know the standards, feel the unifying support, and the respect of his family if they are never together? Forethought, planning, and some insistence would make it …
