Herd Efficiency And Profitability, Jesse Russell, D. R. Zobell
Herd Efficiency And Profitability, Jesse Russell, D. R. Zobell
All Current Publications
Raising beef cattle can be very rewarding. First, if you like raising cattle, maintaining your tie to the land, and seeing the product of your labors, it can truly be satisfying to see young calves in the spring, watch them grow and progress. Second, here can also be a financial reward when the calves are weaned and sold. However, the satisfaction of these two aspects may all depend on your herd’s efficiency and profitability.

There is an old adage of “work smarter, not harder.” An e ective leader/manager has to be able to motivate others to be involved. All too often, we attempt to do it all ourselves, thinking we can do it more quickly than taking time to explain to another person.

Forage Kochia For Fall/Winter Grazing, D. R. Zobell, B. L. Waldron, K. C. Olson, R. D. Harrison, H. Jensen
All Current Publications
Winter feeding costs have often been cited as one of the most expensive aspects of beef cattle production in the Intermountain West. Research and rancher experience suggests that using forage kochia for fall/winter grazing may help reduce these costs.
Fall Calving In The Intermountain West, Dale R. Zobell, Craig Burrell, Darrell Rothlisberger, Eleanor Jenson
Fall Calving In The Intermountain West, Dale R. Zobell, Craig Burrell, Darrell Rothlisberger, Eleanor Jenson
All Current Publications
Fall calving has been practiced by beef producers for many years, although in small numbers relative to spring calving. The spring calf crop has been a traditional event for most beef producers and probably will continue to be. There are distinct advantages, however, to fall calving which producers could take advantage of. The potential for higher conception and weaning rates, price premiums and the elimination of calf scours are among the reasons some beef producers have switched from spring calving their herd to fall calving.

Grasshoppers And Mormon Crickets: Fighting Them For Nearly 100 Years, Usu Extension
All Current Publications
Grasshoppers are a threat to crops and rangeland across the West, but Utah always has had a special historical relationship with Mormon Crickets. Anabrus simplex has been known as a Mormon Cricket since 1848 when hordes of the insect started eating the early Mormon settlers’ much-needed crops.

An estimated eight million school age children between the ages of 5 and 14, go home to an empty house. Statistics reveal that most juvenile crime is committed between the hours of 2:00 pm and 8:00 pm, with the crime rate tripling in the rst hour after school is out.
Turfgrass Water Use In Utah, Robert W. Hill, Kelly L. Kopp
Turfgrass Water Use In Utah, Robert W. Hill, Kelly L. Kopp
All Current Publications
The goal of turfgrass irrigation is to maintain quality by replacing water lost to the atmosphere from the soil by evaporation, and from leaf surfaces by transpiration. The combination of evaporation and transpiration is referred to as evapotranspiration (Et), or simply water use.

All Current Publications
The first consideration prior to seeding is to determine the present level of management being applied to the proposed site. Many sites will recover or improve without seeding if proper management is implemented. Soil is the primary natural resource and its conservation is the most important consideration in seedings.
Learning What To Eat And What To Avoid, Usu Extension
Learning What To Eat And What To Avoid, Usu Extension
All Current Publications
Young herbivores learn which foods are harmful and which are safe through interactions with their mothers. Throughout life, they learn about the consequences of eating through postingestive feedback they experience after eating foods. But how can they do this in a world where toxin and nutrient levels of forages change daily and seasonally? How can they possibly learn and remember all the plants that grow in pastures and on rangelands? How can they survive when we move them to new pastures with unfamiliar foods?
Carpenter Ants And Control In Homes, Jay B. Karren, Alan H. Roe
Carpenter Ants And Control In Homes, Jay B. Karren, Alan H. Roe
All Current Publications
Carpenter ants are members of the insect order Hymenoptera, which includes bees, wasps, sawflies, and other ants. Carpenter ants can be occasional pests in the home and are noted particularly for the damage they can cause when nesting in wood. In Utah they are more of a nuisance rather than a major structural pest.

Millipedes, Jay B. Karren, Alan H. Roe
All Current Publications
Millipedes are related to trilobites, spiders and ticks, sowbugs, and crayfish, centipedes, and insects. Each group represents a different class of arthropods. Millipedes or "thousandlegged worms" include over 800 species of the class Diplopoda in North America.

Leafhoppers In The Home Garden, Jay B. Karren
All Current Publications
Leafhoppers are common problems in home gardens and orchards throughout the state of Utah. There are many species of leafhoppers, several of which attack apples, roses, grapes, and potatoes. Most species overwinter in the egg stage in the bark of the host plant or among the fallen host plant leaves.
How Well Does Your Irrigation Canal Hold Water?, Robert Hill
How Well Does Your Irrigation Canal Hold Water?, Robert Hill
All Current Publications
Irrigation canals placed in native soil or lined with earth can have seepage water losses varying from 20 percent to more than 50 percent. Well designed, new compacted earth lined canals can have reduced seepage losses similar to concrete lined channels. However, consistent and regular maintenance is required to keep seepage losses low. Older concrete lined canals with deteriorated joints and frost heave or settled sections may also have high seepage losses and require rehabilitating.

Proper Use Of Ammoniated Low-Quality Forages For The Wintering Of Spring-Calving Beef Cow Herds In The Intermountain West, D. R. Zobell
Proper Use Of Ammoniated Low-Quality Forages For The Wintering Of Spring-Calving Beef Cow Herds In The Intermountain West, D. R. Zobell
All Current Publications
Low‐quality forages (LQF) such as cereal straws or post‐ripe hays are often used as economical feed sources for the wintering of beef cow herds. The ammoniation of such forages increases the digestibility and crude protein (CP) enough so that these forages can be used as the basis of beef cow diets, even during late gestation and early lactation if supplemented properly.
