Cattlemen urged to cut herds and rely on science
Nebraska rancher Martin Jorgensen told about 100 producers at the 13th Nebraska Beef Seminar that genetically inferior cattle are driving down prices and warned the industry must reduce cow numbers by 15 to 20 percent. He urged standardized crossbreeding, controlled breeding records, and focused selection beyond shows. University experts urged higher efficiency, improved feeding, and he discussed protein supplementation and high moisture corn practices. The event was sponsored by UNL extension, the extension service, and American Cyanamid Co.

Two oldtime grasses still tops for high production of beef
At a South Dakota State University pasture research facility, big bluestem and switch grass topped the list for per acre beef production among warm season perennials. Kansas and New Zealand researchers noted the need for proper grazing management and 5-6 week growth periods before grazing to maintain long term productivity.
