Welcome to this week's newsletter
EDITORIAL: The Cow of the Future
We have 4 new features this week: Beef Cattle Seedstock Seedstock cattle are breeding cattle typically registered with a breed association. They have documented pedigrees and estimates of genetic merit, such as expected progeny differences, says this Mississippi State University Extension Service report. Breeding Season Manage cows and bulls for maximum conception rate, says this Government of Alberta, Agriculture and Rural Development report. Bedding Beef Cows Is Essential This spring is certainly one to remember. At the Dickinson Research Extension Center, calf death loss is just more than 11 per cent, almost quadruple the typical loss of 3 per cent for North Dakota Beef Cattle Improvement Association members, writes Kris Ringwall, Beef Specialist at the North Dakota State University Extension Service. USDA Feed Outlook April 2009 World 2008/09 corn trade is projected up 0.7 million tonnes this month to 76.1 million, says Allen Baker, Edward Allen, and Heather Lutman in the USDA's Economic Research Service (ERS) Feed Outlook report for March 2009.
