Persuasive Essay On Cattle Genetics And Breedinging

which results in healthy cattle. We use our cattle for milk and meat, and you wouldn’t want

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.)

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”

“170.3 million hectares have been planted with genetically modified organisms (GMOs) for example rice, eggplant, and tomatoes” (Haspel). Genetically modified organisms are when an animal, food, or plant whose genetic material has been amended from engineering techniques. The first step to the genetically modified organisms birth was when a russian scientist in 1935 discovered deoxyribonucleic acid. Therefore, after the birth of deoxyribonucleic acid (D.N.A.) according to Dictionary.com it is “an extremely long macromolecule that is the main component of chromosomes and is the material that transfers genetic characteristics in all life forms.” Thus came the first genetically engineered crop a 1982 antibiotic resistant tobacco plant (Wikipedia). Consequently genetic engineering has come a long way in society, for example its safety issues. Hence the debate on genetically modified crops, whether they are safe still remains on a tightrope is that genetically modified crops are nontoxic of consumption.

Bringing desirable material traits into a commercial herd through maternal herd sires is Brett’s goal.

Steers, I have two steeres this year. There names are maumus and blue I bought them from the same guy at the same time. My black steer is a little scared but I would not call him mean. He is pretty tall for his age but we can stop him from growing taller. So we can get him wider. I think he is going to be easy to feed out, my steer last year was not that easy to feed out. My steer this year I am going to have to really really work with him to calm him down. I am going to have to work on him all throughout the year but mostly at the beginning so he does not get too big for me to control. It is easier to work with them at the beginning when you first get them because they are littler. My uncle always says if you can’t control them when they

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.

You need to be prepared. When you have it you need a barn and pen to keep it. You have to have proper nutrition feed and water that fits the calf’s need. For shows you need a show stick, show halters, chute, and many products for their hair. Before you show though, you need to train and work with them at home.

What are the purposes of accurately and positively identify purebred and commercial cattle? (2 pts)

Showing steers is not as easy as some may think. You now see that there are many steps in preparing a show steer. Although, cattle aren’t easy to maintain they teach you responsibility and allow you to love them just as you love any other pet. Cattle have made a lasting impact in my life and I hope that they can make a lasting impact in yours as well.

A. When buying from a Breeder you are able to see their environment and how their mother looks. Although many people think all breeders are only in it for the money it is not always the case reputable breeders care about their animals and do not kill their animals after breeding them and taking care of them. Reputable breeders will provide genetic testing to show any genetic issues the animal may have later on in life. Although it can be expensive because you are paying for all of the vetting as long as you get your perfect pet as long as you train it properly.

We bred our ewes with a Suffolk ram in the 3rd week of August on a 1 acre pasture. We hope in the future to expand the pasture to 4 acres. 3 years ago my dad put up a 50x45 foot pole barn and seeded a 1 acre pasture. We were then able to bring our flock of sheep to our home. This has given me way more experience with the sheep. I do the daily chores, help tag, vaccinate, castrate and tail, help with lambing, clip hooves, and help shear. I also kept track of ewes the buck chalked, dates ewes lambed, weights of the lambs, and overall health of the flock. I am really enjoying having this responsibility.

Inseminate livestock increase productivity and profit. Global Genetic Resources strive to help breeders who use their common sense. We supply all types of bovine semen and provide leading cattle artificial

Raising goats has been a major part of my high school experience. I purchased my first two Pygora goats, Dione and Carl, in November of my freshman year, and in the four years since then my herd has expanded to six. Being out in the barn, working, caring for the goats, cleaning, learning and teaching, has allowed me an outlet to flourish and learn by doing. This past year I decided to breed two of my goats as my Senior project. This was not my first time breeding, but it will be the first time of me making all the decisions on my own. It was certainly harder than I expected. At the end of the five month pregnancy, I learned so much about goats, nutrition and kidding (goat labor) than I had ever known before. My goals for this project were
