Cutting Costs In Calf Rearing, N A. Scott
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
RAISING calves as herd replacements and as a sideline to provide added income is becoming increasingly popular.
This is particularly noticeable since the inception of the Artificial Breeding Scheme whereby farmers are at liberty to breed herd replacements from their most productive cows and use semen from beef breeds for the poorer types.

Can Heifers Be Fed Too Well?, Laurence C. Snook
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

As a result, some dairymen now believe that heifer calves should be kept lean rather than in prime condition.
It has become common to hear statements to the effect that generous feeding encourages calves to become "beefy," at the expense of the milk-producing attributes which are essential in a dairy cow.

The mulga is found associated with shrubs and grasses in almost all plant habitats. In its various forms it can associate with spinifex (Triodia basedowi), Wandarrie Grasses (Danthonia, Eragostis and Eriachne spp.) and with low shrubs on flood plains, hills and breakaways. It may even attempt to become established in salty communities, though this is never completely successful.
The scene the area offers from its low hills is one of a succession of low undulations, occasionally scarred by creeks or breakaways and …

How Much Food Should I Give My Dog?, F C. Wilkinson
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
