Ranch Management Practices In The Sandhills Of Nebraska: Managing Production, Sean A. Coady, Richard T. Clark
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
This report represents the second in a two-part series that summarize a comprehensive survey of Nebraska Sandhills range cattle operations. The focus of this report is on management of the production aspects of the ranch business and provides details on pasture and meadow management, hay production, crops, breeding programs, nutritional programs, and maintaining the health of the herd.

Improvement Of Beef Cattle Through Breeding Methods. Summary Of Results From Regional Project Nc-1, Larry V. Cundiff, Keith E. Gregory
Improvement Of Beef Cattle Through Breeding Methods. Summary Of Results From Regional Project Nc-1, Larry V. Cundiff, Keith E. Gregory
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
This publication is a revision of North Central Regional Publication 120, published by the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station (Research Bulletin 196) in July, 1961. It summarizes the more important results from this project during its first 19 years of operation. It is by no means complete and includes only what is considered to be the "highlights" of findings at this time. A bibliography of all publications that provided the basis for this summary statement is included. This publication is in the nature of a progress report on many aspects of beef cattle breeding research. Although it is based on considerably …

Improvement Of Beef Cattle Through Breeding Methods. Summary Of Results From Regional Project Nc-1, Keith E. Gregory
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
The major purpose of this project is to obtain information that beef cattle breeders can use to make maximum genetic improvement in all traits of economic value in beef cattle. The major objectives of NC-1 are the following: (1) to determine the traits of economic importance in beef cattle: (2) to assess their relative value; (3) to develop reliable methods and procedures for measuring and evaluating them; (4) to obtain estimates of their heritabilities; (5) to obtain estimates of the genetic and phenotypic correlations among all economically important traits; (6) to evaluate the effects and uses of inbreeding and heterosis; …
Forty Years Of Dairy Cattle Breeding At The North Platte Experiment Station, Mogens Plum, Myron G.A. Rumery
Forty Years Of Dairy Cattle Breeding At The North Platte Experiment Station, Mogens Plum, Myron G.A. Rumery
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
In 1913 the Nebraska Legislature appropriated $17,500 to establish a Dairy Department at the North Platte Experiment Station. The department's herd was to be used in demonstrating management and breeding practices and as a source of breeding stock. Since the North Platte herd was started, research in the field of animal breeding has developed new concepts in many phases of dairy cattle breeding and selection. The purpose of the present study is to analyze the progress made under a system of dairy cattle breeding and selection carried out according to the principles that dominated 40 years ago. The results of …

Developing Rapid-Feathering Chickens, I. L. Williams, H. L. Wiegers

The object of this circular is to acquaint the poultry producer, hatchery operator, or any other person endeavoring to develop improved strains of chickens with a satisfactory method for eliminating slow-feathering individuals from his flock.
Vitamins For Poultry, F. E. Mussehl, C. W. Ackerson
Vitamins For Poultry, F. E. Mussehl, C. W. Ackerson
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Vitamins are chemical substances essential for the maintenance of life, growth, and reproduction. Their effects are out of proportion to the relatively small amounts required. Fortunately, most of these essentials are widely distributed in nature, and an adequate ration can nearly always be provided by using logical combinations of common feedstuffs. Under certain conditions, however, the use of vitamin-containing concentrates may be desirable. In planning practical rations, it should be recognized that the plant leaf is the source of most vitamins. Milk and meat products make important vitamin contributions to the diet in addition to their proteins and minerals. Direct …
Turkey Production, F. E. Mussehl
Turkey Production, F. E. Mussehl
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Whatever problems turkey production presents, lack of demand for roast turkey is not at this time one of them. Turkeys rate so high in popular esteem that very rarely indeed do prices fall below that of dressed chickens and usually the best grades are 12 to 15 cents per pound higher during the holiday season. The world of commerce has become quite complex but the consuming public still has one clear way of speaking to producers. In the language of the dollar we are apparently being asked to raise more turkeys.
Selection, Breeding, Methods Means More Milk, H. P. Davis
Selection, Breeding, Methods Means More Milk, H. P. Davis
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Milk good cows. It pays if you know how. Good dairy cows will always make money. Scrub, poor, or common cows never bring a good profit and usually cause a loss. Why waste feed and labor on inefficient producers, the kind that never make a satisfactory profit? Join a cow testing association. Let the tester keep books on your cows and let the milk scale and the milk sheet point out the money makers. Improvement comes only from selection and breeding.
Better Sires -- Better Stock: Build Better By Breeding, H. P. Davis
Better Sires -- Better Stock: Build Better By Breeding, H. P. Davis
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Economy and logic indicate that the most satisfactory method of obtaining higher-yielding dairy cattle is to breed them. Nebraska raises the feeds - corn, oats and alfalfa - that will grow dairy cattle and can raise them as cheaply as any region. The method is simple. Use purebred dairy sires on the present cows. By the use of good purebred dairy sires great improvement can be obtained in a single generation.
