Kansas Council of Chapters of the Soil Conservation Society met June 5 and 6 in Salina with nearly 200 attendees. Speakers praised conservation tillage as a fuel saving and erosion control practice, citing farmers like Herb Jeffrey and John Larson who report lower costs and strong yields despite drought and heavy rainfall.
Kansas State University extension livestock expert Danny Simms reported at the Midwest Section of the American Society of Animal Science that heat synchronization can breed a fair share of cows if they are cycling. In 1980 trials 51.5 percent showed standing heat. 35.9 percent of 412 treated cows settled in the synchronized period, with yearling heifers joining at higher rates than mature cows and first calf heifers lagging. Simms urged heat detection, markers, and choosing a system based on labor and cost, noting cycling level crucial and that semen cost should guide whether to breed cows not showing heat after injection. He also highlighted calves’ age and body condition as factors influencing success.
