2. What Are The Two Methods The Beef Center Uses To Castrate Calves?

Ever since forty plus years ago Agriculturalists have shown a variety of show cattle and ran ranches with them. I showed cattle for a few years throughout my FFA experience. Cattle have played a huge role in our society feeding families and other people who reside in this world. Their effect on human culture is something that we take much pride in when raising our cattle whether it is for companion or meat products. Previous cattle showman know and strive to achieve the ultimate goal: winning grand champion. This reward is earned by having the best show calf in the ring to the judge’s perspective. In order to reach this goal, the exhibitor must use proper feeding methods and show technique. (Insert thesis here.)

2.7 Monitoring physiological measurements it´s important to make sure the individual health status and also necessary after surgery, as patients in intensive care units require continuous monitoring, and sometimes have medications that requires physical measurements taken. These are measurements we take to ensure that they are functioning in the way they are supposed to. When we carry out physiological measurements, such as measuring temperature, pulse and respiration, we are monitoring for signs of abnormality. Then be able to draw conclusions about the health status of the individual and any treatments they may

1. Fill in the chart below. Use “+” if the patient’s vital sign is higher than normal, “−” if the sign is lower than normal, or “x” if the sign is normal. If you need to, use your text or another resource to determine normal values.

Today's competitions heifers and steers are specifically bred for shows. More than likely they are from breeders of club cattle. There is obviously a huge difference in club calves and commercial cattle. We are trying to put basically most of the traits you need in good commercial cattle, but then you add a little show ring pizzazz in them. They need that extra balance,quality, and eye appeal. “The difference is the hair and muscle they have in them,” said Jerry Riley of JDR cattle. “For breeding purposes I am going after that hair, that muscle, that bone that it takes to be a club calve compared to just a commercial cow. Mark Beauprez of Beauprez cattle stated, “There is a lot more of a show cattle look to these cattle.” “The lines are a lot straighter and they are prettier fronted, bigger boned, and a lot thicker of an animal”

“I’ve heard horse guys talk for years that if you have a good mare, you can breed her to anything,” Brett said. “If you have a mediocre mare, it doesn’t matter what you breed her to, you are going to have a mediocre colt. I think cows are the same way; you’ve got to have a good set of foundation cows that work in your environment.”

Starting at the sunrise in the crisp air, throughout the hectic day, and until sunset, FFA was setting up panels, judging, and then taking down panels at day’s end. It was their annual participation at Beef Breeders. An event on the first Friday of February, where bulls are showcased , a trade show takes place, and a livestock judging at the Ag Advancement Center.

The reason I chose to use my show cattle as the main part of my video is because they are really important to me and have probably had biggest impact on my life as a whole. For the last 10 years I have been showing cattle and it has been a huge part of my life ever since. Showing cattle has taught me more about life and responsibility then anything else in my life ever has. Throughout the years of showing my cattle I have made many friends and been lots of places. The reason I chose the pictures that I did for my show cattle part of the video is because they show the way that I have grown and learned more over the last few years about showing cattle in specific. Having pictures of multiple years of calves that I have showed, explain how my showing abilities have improved since I started showing cattle. I mixed the different cattle that I have showed so that my video would show different perspectives of my show calves and the different breeds that I have showed. These pictures help me look back at the different shows I have been too with different calves helps me understand what I have improved on. Each calf that I have had, has been different in many ways, and each one has made me go out of my comfort zone in different ways and helped me learn new things such as, showing a different breed that I had no experience in, breaking calves to lead, new techniques for showing and prep, and figuring out new feed rations for my calves.

Gathering observations of patients is a vital task that all Nurses must complete on a regular basis, they include Blood pressure, respiration rate, pulse, temperature and oxygen saturation. The information gathered from the observations enable for warnings when a patient is deteriorating

Vital signs are measurements of the body’s most basic functions. They are very useful in detecting and monitoring medical problems. There are five main types of vital signs which are temperature, pulse, respiration, blood pressure, and pain. They can be measured in a medical setting, at home, at the site of a medical emergency, or elsewhere.

For many centuries farmers and ranchers have taught us how to care for calves that were just born. There wasn't much to the process except for tagging the calf and writing down the records for it. Scours was really common for all babies to have within three to four days of being born. Scours is a form a diarrhea for cattle, and it can make them very sick and sometimes die. When calving out in the spring you never know what the weather conditions will be, and pneumonia is very common for the calves to catch. Scientist have been working hard for many years to figure out a solution of decreasing scours and pneumonia, and with the two new medications the chances have decreased tremendously.

Canadienne Cattle are dairy cattle that originated in Canada and is starting to become more popular in the United States. Canadienne cattle were the main cattle breed up until 1850. The breed developed it’s own official herd book in 1886 when they were almost extinct. The population of the Canadienne was nearly 300,000 head before the book was developed. Today, the breed is not as common, but it still thrives (The Canadienne Cow, 2009).

There are several factors can effect one or more of the vital signs: age, gender, heredity,

Vitals signs include a person's temperature, pulse, respiration, blood pressure, pain, and the pulse oximetry as well (Taylor, Lillis, & Lynn, 2015, p. 579). They are important to be assessed routinely on every patient because the health status of a person is reflected in these vital signs since they are the indicators of body functions, and a change in vital signs allows the nurse or any other healthcare professional to know if there is anything wrong with the patient by being able to do a diagnosis, perform lab tests, and plan for interventions for those specific indications. Nurses assess vital signs for each patient and use them to compare their findings to accepted normal values and the patient's usual pattern of values.

The issues of halal meat and animal slaughter have steadily stoked the tensions between Tanzanian Muslims and Christians in the last six years.
