Results Of The Twelfth International Winter Wheat Performance Nursery Grown In 1980, S. L. Kuhr, C. J. Peterson, V. A. Johnson, P. J. Mattern, J. W. Schmidt

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

This is the twelfth report of results from an International Winter Wheat Performance Nursery (IWWPN) organized in 1968 by the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station in cooperation with the Agricultural Research Service (ARS), U.S. Department of Agriculture, under contract number AID/ta-C-1093 with the U.S. International Development Corporation, Agency for International Development. The Nursery was designed to (1) test the adaptation and stability of winter wheat cultivars in a range of latitudes, daylengths, fertility conditions, water management regimes, and disease complexes; (2) identify superior winter cultivars to serve as recipient genotypes for high protein and high lysine genes; (3) test the degree …

G83-675 Yield Grades And Quality Grades For Lamb Carcasses, Dennis E. Burson, Ted Doane Jan 1983

G83-675 Yield Grades And Quality Grades For Lamb Carcasses, Dennis E. Burson, Ted Doane

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This NebGuide discusses yield and quality grades for lamb carcasses and their importance to producers.

Lamb carcass grades when applied by a USDA meat grader must consist of a yield grade and a quality grade. Yield grades estimate the percentage of closely trimmed, boneless retail cuts from the leg, loin, rib and shoulder. Quality grades indicate the palatability or eating characteristics of lamb.

Evaluating lamb carcasses for USDA Yield and Quality Grades recognizes carcasses with traits that influence live animal and carcass value, and identifies breeding animals that produce lambs of superior carcass merit.
