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...
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...
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...

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...
