Two management systems were evaluated in terms of the effects on
calf growth, on calf weight produced per cow per year, and on reproductive
performance of fall calving cows. The alternative management
systems tested were twin foster calf production and, delayed weaning,
production of single suckled calves weaned at the...
Two management systems were evaluated in terms of the effects on
cow condition score and body weight changes and calf growth rates. The
management systems evaluated were winter supplementation of energy,
winter creep feeding and delayed weaning. The calves used in this study
were born in September and October of...

A trial was conducted May 1 to September 4, 1989 at the Eastern
Oregon Agricultural Research Center (EOARC) Burns, OR to examine the
effects of strip or continuous grazing management on the diet and
performance of steers grazing native flood meadows. The objective was
to determine if strip grazing would...

The drastic reduction in cattle prices with constantly rising costs
of production emphasizes the value of superior genetic material. Although the costs of progeny testing have risen with other production costs, the positive identification of superior genetic material can only be determined by progeny testing.
Seventy-six heifers and 312 steers...

Steer calves were fed individually twice daily on rations containing barley, protein supplement, and alfalfa pellets. There was no daily gain advantage in feeding concentrates at more than approximately 2% of body weight daily. Feed conversion and cost of gain slightly favored those lots which received larger amounts of steam-rolled...

Three studies were conducted to evaluate: 1) rotationally grazed forage for late-summer stockpiling; 2) effects of lactation on self-fed supplement intake; and 3) influence of cow age on hand-fed supplement intake. For the first study, treatments consisted of non grazed, 2X and 3X grazed. Crude protein of forage grazed 3X...
Traditional season-long livestock grazing strategy on western riparian areas
has been identified as one of the factors affecting rangeland productivity as well
as wildlife habitat in riparian zones. As alternatives to summer season-long
grazing, summer short-duration grazing (without haying), and fall short-duration
grazing (following haying), were considered in this study...

The purpose of this study is to show costs and returns that might have prevailed from 1956 through 1963 for commercial beef cattle fattening operations in Wasco and Sherman Counties in particular and in Oregon in general. This information is designed to show probable net returns and how they varied...
This study evaluated the influence of cattle stocking density on botanical composition of diet, diet preference, and cattle performance on the Zumwalt Prairie in Northeastern Oregon. In each of two years, 192 cow-calf pairs (549.27 kg, BCS = 4.89) and 48 yearling heifers (383.34 kg, BCS = 5.02) were stratified...

Two trials were conducted to evaluate changes in the quantity, quality, and moisture of available forage in the pasture, and shrub utilization by cattle during a 30-d late summer grazing period (Trial 1) and the effect of cow age (experience) on grazing distribution and diet composition (Trial 2) in mountain...
The objectives of the experiment were to: 1) determine the relationship
between overstory canopy cover and ungulate herbivory on understory production
composition and diversity and 2) determine the effects of timber harvest, ungulate
herbivory and season of use on botanical composition and nutritional quality of
beef cattle diets. Three randomly...

Livestock grazing has been indirectly related to sage-grouse (centrocercus
urophasianus) declines in the western United States and southern Canada; however,
there is a lack of scientific research that directly relates the two. Our objective was
to investigate the influence of livestock herbivory on sage-grouse nesting habitat by
determining the spatial...
