Summary: Understanding Calf's Feeding

It is legal to feed supplements and change the animal’s appearance, so the judge can better their decision upon selecting animals for sale. The great things that come along with feeding a calf supplements is that half the time it works depending on the type of livestock one has and how much finish it needs on it. It also depends on the particular part you are looking to change about your animal, such as fat or muscle.

With a combination of big bone, big toplines, big hair, long pretty clean necks, and structure soundness on there feet and legs. They are cardboard cutout cattle. They are not practical cattle. Based on appearance, they are extremely powerful and over the top. Big boned and deep bodied yet still attractive through the front end. (Macarthur)

As you can see the dairy cow should be in milk for around 305 days a year and have a drying off period of around 60 days. After calving the cow should be back in calf after 85 days, this is to keep the ratio of 1 calf/ cow/ year. This ratio will get the highest yield out of the cow and keep a good profit margin for the farmer.

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.

Numerous studies attest that fat composition within in animal (specifically cattle) depend and vary on the diet of that animal (Daley et al. 2010). In the case of cattle, grass-fed and grain (concentrate)-fed are amongst the two largest diets used, and this difference in diets is also correlated with a difference in fat composition (Daley et al. 2010). In general, grain-fed cattle have a higher body fat percentage make up, increasing from 9.76g/100g of muscle in grass-fed crossbred steers to 13.03g/100g of muscle in grain-fed steers (Daley et al. 2010). This is a 34% increase due to a diet change, which is a considerable increase since animal fats are connected to health risks; providing the argument that grass-fed cattle are healthier (Daley et al. 2010).

__T__ 30. Cow-calf operations provide a transition period between the time the calves are weaned and before they are put on the feedlot.

Would you get your child their vaccinations when they needed them? Of course, you would! Well just like a kid needs certain shots throughout their childhood, calves need to be vaccinated, too. Some people may argue that vaccines are not helpful or they do more harm than good, but for a cattle farmer, vaccines are critical in maintaining a successful cow calf production. Cows are exposed to many different diseases, many of which are fatal, so farmers must ensure the health of their herd.

Weaning – Weaning in beef cattle can occur when the calf is between 4-7 months. Weaning affects calves and their mothers. When the calf is separated from the mother, both experience anxiety as they cannot locate one another and be together as they previously have

The Fritz Ranch runs an organic cow-calf operation that runs on an 800-acre of their land (Harper et al, 2). The operation produces, slaughters, packages and markets a final beef product during an 18-month cycle (Harper et al, 1). The cows are usually bred during late winter through early spring, or November

Within the dairy industry, the practice of dehorning newborn calves has become standard procedure to ensure the safety of the farmer and other animals. Though this is standard procedure for many it has raised questions in regard to the practices and methods used in the industry and whether or not they can feel pain. This leads to questioning the welfare of the animals on are inflicting pain on them and the length of time this pain is inflicted. There are multiple methods that are used depending on the age of the animal. The focus of this paper will be on newborn to 3 months old using the practices of caustic paste and hot iron burning.

In baby-led weaning, moms are encouraged to give their baby "real" food in bite-sized portions instead of baby food. Babies feed themselves in baby-led weaning rather than being spoon-fed. This process begins at approximately six months of age and is done in addition to supplementation from the breast. Slowly, the baby will transition from getting all of their nutrition from breastfeeding to eating regular meals. Most moms continue to nurse in the morning, at night and before naps, allowing their baby to dictate the weaning

The equine digestive tract is unique in that it digests portions of its feeds enzymatically first in the foregut and ferments in the hindgut. The cow benefits by having the microbial breakdown of fibrous food at the start of the GIT and nutrient absorption can then take place along the entire intestine. Dietary protein is not utilised efficiently because the microbial fermentation breaks down protein plus some carbohydrate. This has a great impact on how we should feed a horse and explains in part why the horse and cow differ so much in their nutritional efficiencies and requirements.

The main thing horses eat is hay but they also eat carrots and apples but that is more like horses treat. Horses eat a lot of fruits unlike humans. They can eat a lot of fruit and not get tired of it. they eat veggies to but not as much as fruits. The natural diet of horses is grass. Grass contains enough nutrients a horse requires to be healthy grass also has silica which is important for dental

As we all know cattle are pretty invincible when it comes to their stomachs being that they have four, but did you know that incorporating candy into cattle’s diet could be an alternative to some feed additives? No, this is not a joke, adding candy to a cows diet is the same as adding corn into their diet.
