Reproductive anatomy and physiology of the cow (1993)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1993)
The ability of a cow to successfully mate, conceive, give birth to and raise a healthy calf each year is essential to economical beef production. A good understanding of anatomy and physiology of both the male and female is helpful in successfully...
Impact of grazing stockpiled tall fescue of lactating beef cows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Two experiments are described, in which fall-calving cow-calf pairs grazed stockpiled tall fescue at three different endophyte infection levels (20, 51, and 89%) and four forage allowances (2.25, 3.00, 3.75, and 4.50% of BW). A hay feeding treatment...
Alternative feeds for beef cows and stockers (1996)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1996)
Harvested and purchased feeds make up nearly 40 percent of annual production costs in typical cow/calf operations. These costs also have a dramatic impact on cost per unit of gain in stocker operations. Consequently, cattle producers must...
Effects of late gestational copper, zinc, and manganese source and inclusion in beef cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
A study was conducted to determine the effects of source and inclusion of Cu, Zn, and Mn during late gestation on cow and calf mineral status, fetal growth, and offspring immune function and pre-weaning performance. Cows received 1 of 4 treatment...
Crossbreeding systems for small herds of beef cattle (1993)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1993)
Crossbreeding in commercial beef cattle production improves efficiency through heterosis and breed complementation. Heterosis or hybrid vigor is an advantage in performance of crossbreds compared to the average performance of the parental breeds...
The systems concept of beef production : BIF fact sheet (1993)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1993)
In recent years, commercial and seed stock producers have emphasized increased production -- more milk, faster gains and greater mature size -- and have adopted management practices and bred cattle with this purpose in ...
Crossbreeding systems for small herds of beef cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2021)
percent more pounds of calf per cow exposed than purebred cows with purebred calves of the same average breed makeup. Breed complementation describes using breeds as they are best suited in a crossbreeding system. To take advantage of breed complementation...

The effects of various planes of nutrition upon the cost of maintenance, reproduction, and development of beef cows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
business as well. When the cost of maintaining a cow for a year was far less and the value of the calf not nearly so great, the annual percentage of calves produced by a herd of grade cows was not a matter of so much importance. The dry cows would fatten...
Reproductive anatomy and physiology of the cow
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2021)
"The ability of a cow or heifer to successfully mate, conceive, give birth, and raise a healthy calf each year is essential for profitable and sustainable beef production. A good understanding of anatomy and physiology of both the male and female...
Herd health programs and reproductive efficiency of beef cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2021)
"An excellent herd health program is an important component of overall management for reproductive efficiency, as health can significantly impact the reproductive performance of cattle as well as the value of the calf crop. Failure to protect...
Evaluation of the 7 and 7 synch protocol for control of the estrous cycle among beef cows prior to fixed-time artificial insemination with sex-sorted or conventional semen
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Experiment 1 was conducted to compare 7 and 7 Synch and the 7-day CO-Synch + controlled internal drug release (CIDR[copyright]) protocols prior to fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI) of beef cows with conventional or sex-sorted semen. Cows (n...

Value added to the beef cattle chain through genetic management
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The beef cattle industry has a substantial impact on the United States economy. Genetic management is becoming a part of the total farm management plan. The objective of this study is to determine whether or not the process of managing genetics has...
