    • Body Condition, Nutrition & Reproduction of Beef Cows 
      Herd, Dennis B.; Sprott, L. R. (AgriLife Extension, Texas A&M University System; Texas A&M University. Libraries, )
      A BCS of 5 or more (at least 14 percent body fat) at calving and through breeding is required for good reproductive performance. Over-stocking pastures is a common cause of poor body condition and reproductive failure. ...
    • Body Fat in Beef Cows Affects Pregnancy Rates 
      Sprott, L. R. (AgriLife Extension, Texas A&M University System; Texas A&M University. Libraries, )
      Pregnancy rates are highly variable in beef herds and are influenced by many factors including nutrition. Low pregnancy rates are caused by improper nutrition in 90 or more cases.
    • Comparative value of silages based on digestibility 
      McCollum, Ted; Bean, Brent (AgriLife Extension, Texas A&M University System; Texas A&M University. Libraries, )
      Price discovery for sorghum silages generally uses corn silage as a base value. Discounts are then applied using general assumptions of relative energy concentrations. However, there are variations in the energy value of ...
