CHINA/NEW ZEALAND WORK ON TRADE DEAL
President Obama announced progress on his pledge to double U.S. exports over the next five years, including the development of a new presidential advisory council on exports.
THEM AGAINST US - PART 1
“If slaughter houses had glass walls, everyone would be vegetarian.” That's how a solemn Paul McCartney, the ex-Beatle, begins narration of a new video from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). What follows is the same sensationalism and fiction that livestock producers have come to expect from the radical activist group.
ACTIVE FLY CONTROL IS ESSENTIAL FOR GOOD CATTLE HERD HEALTH
Whether in the pasture or the barn, fly control is an essential part of keeping healthy dairy and beef cattle herds, said Purdue University entomologist Ralph Williams.
INDUSTRY COUNTS ON STOCKERS TO ENSURE CATTLE QUALITY
Genetics were selected years ago; calving and weaning are complete, so the next place that really matters in the beef production chain is the feedlot. Right?
GELDINGS ARE A HAPPIER WORKING PARTNER
Horse owners often decide early in the colt's life whether he shows the promise of being a quality stallion or will be a happier and more willing work partner as a gelding.
FREEZE BRANDING OFFERS PRODUCERS AN ALTERNATIVE
Hot iron branding of livestock is the oldest form of permanent identification, practiced on other continents for hundreds of years, and was adopted very early in the American West as proof of ownership. Freeze branding is a relatively new innovation, developed at Washington State University in 1966 by Dr. Keith Farrell.
MONITOR FEEDING REQUIREMENTS OF EARLY WEANED CALVES
Meeting the nutritional needs of a young calf might sound familiar to parents of young children: feed well, feed often and prepare for pickiness.
LARGE CROWD GATHERS FOR SALACOA VALLEY FEMALE SALE
A large crowd gathered on a beautiful Georgia afternoon for Salacoa Valley Farms Brangus female sale.
NEMAHA VALLEY ANGUS PARTNERS WITH CERTIFIED ANGUS BEEF LLC
A northeast Kansas diversified farm became the first in that corner of the state to license with Certified Angus Beef LLC in the Feedlot Licensing Program.
IT'S THE PITTS - TERMS OF ENDEARMENT
I hate it when people I don't even know call me terms of endearment such as honey, darling, pet, precious, sugar or angel.
USE OF SEXED SEMEN IN BEEF CATTLE CAN BE BENEFICIAL
The first sex-selected calf conceived from frozen sexed semen was born in the early 1990's, and in 2004 this technology became commercially available.
BLACK INK - SORTING
Low-stress cattle handling is becoming a mainstream practice, but have you ever thought about the ultimate low-stress sorting system—right from your computer?
PUREBRED VS. COMMERCIAL NUTRITIONAL NEEDS MAY DIFFER
In the beef cattle industry there has been discussion in many shapes and forms concerning feeding and nutrition of purebred cattle. In many cases, the perception of purebred breeders is that purebred cattle have significantly different nutrient requirements than commercial cattle. This may be true in some respects but possible not for the reasons the producer suspects. This article will discuss some of these perceptions.
NEW FENCING TECHNOLOGY ADDS LIFE TO OPERATION
Cattlemen value longevity, whether it's the genetics that roam the pastures or the equipment needed to get the job done. Many operations have a dinosaur like pick-up that drinks fuel way too fast and can be cantankerous on certain mornings, but owners are quick to defend by saying it will last another year. Fences are the same way.
