Feeding Milking Shorthorn Steers, M. L. Baker, V. H. Arthaud, C. H. Adams
Feeding Milking Shorthorn Steers, M. L. Baker, V. H. Arthaud, C. H. Adams
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
The objectives of the feeding work were to provide the producer with feed-lot data and where possible with slaughter data for Milking Shorthorn steers. As a definite breeding research program with the Milking Shorthorn herd was planned, it also was believed that information about the beef-making qualities of the steers should be of equal importance with milk and butterfat production records.
Feeding And Care Of Calves, R. R. Thalman
Feeding And Care Of Calves, R. R. Thalman
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
It is not infrequent that considerable difficulty is encountered in raising calves with limited amounts of milk or none at all. Requests for information on calf gruels, mixed grain feeds, and commercial supplements are frequent enough to make a short circular upon this subject seem desirable. Furthermore, as the more diversified agricultural program gets under way these requests are increasmg.
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.

Dairy Calf Care And Management, H. P. Davis, R. F. Morgan
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Calf raising begins before the calf is born. A cow that is healthy and in good physical condition will, in all probability, drop a strong, vigorous calf. The feeding and care of the cow before calving is therefore of the greatest importance for the future development of the calf.

Feeding The Dairy Cow, H. P. Davis
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Cows produce milk from feed and water only. Therefore feed in proper quantity and quality is usually the limiting factor governing a cow's production up to the limit of her capacity.
