A Stocker Cattle Growth Simulation Model

Forage Systems for Stocker Cattle

Nutrition Programs for Southeastern Stocker Cattle

Historically we have used a value of gain of about $0.50 per lb on growing cattle, but with recent changes in calf pricing, gain is worth much more than that. For example, cattle at Lynchburg, VA on July 27, 2008 showed no price slide between 4 cwt and 6 cwt cattle, and when you compare those prices with the VA board sales those light cattle prices are similar to the heavier cattle, which would...

A simulation model of forage yield, quality and intake and growth of growing cattle grazing cornstalks.

A simulation model was developed to predict corn crop residue yield and quality and intake and performance of growing cattle grazing cornstalks. The model is wholly deterministic and integrates the effects of weather, residue supply and animal components. Low temperatures increase animal energy requirements, whereas snow cover decreases residue available. Residual grain and leaf are calculated ...

Southern Section Interdisciplinary Beef Cattle Symposium: Opportunities for stocker cattle in the southern United States.

Section annual meeting has been a well-attended addition to the program at the Southern Association of Agricultural Scientists (SAAS) annual conference. This venue allows broad participation by all attendees from the Southern Section of American Society of Animal Science (ASAS), and the symposium is also well attended by members of other societies associated with SAAS. The symposium in 2012, wh...
