Book excerpt: Beef cattle production in the southeastern United States differs in size, practice, and production type from other U.S. regions. Smaller, cow-calf type operations dominate in this region because the climate, forage availability, and other land use practices of farmers make this type of cattle operation more ideal for the Southeast. This research summarizes the current practices and characteristics that define the Southeastern cow-calf operation of today's market and operating environment; it also examines the factors that influence the variability of beef production in these operations. Results indicate the following major points: 1.) 53.0% of respondents with commercial cows have fewer than 50 head. 2.) Weaning weight and its variability tend to increase as calves get older. 3.) Calves on seedstock operations wean heavier than those typical of cow-calf operations. 4.) Operators that are more financially invested in their operation seem to be more attentive to outcomes of their production process.

This book was released on 2019-08-22 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Management Strategies for Sustainable Cattle Production in Southern Pastures is a practical resource for scientists, students, and stakeholders who want to understand the relationships between soil-plant interactions and pasture management strategies, and the resultant performance of cow-calf and stocker cattle. This book illustrates the importance of matching cattle breed types and plant hardiness zones to optimize cattle production from forages and pastures. It explains the biologic and economic implications of grazing management decisions made to improve sustainability of pastures and cattle production while being compliant with present and future environmental concerns and cattle welfare programs. Documents the effects of cattle grazing on greenhouse gas emissions and carbon footprints Discusses strategies to enhance soil fertility, soil health, and nutrient cycling in pastures Provides information on the use of stocking rates, stocking strategies and grazing systems to optimize cow-calf production of weaned calves and stockers. Presents innovations in cattle supplementation and watering systems to minimize negative impacts on water and soil health Includes methods for weed control to maintain pasture condition and ecosystem stability Describes management strategies to integrate cattle operations with wildlife sustainability

Book excerpt: Extract: The number of beef cows in each of the four major U.S. cow-calf production regions declined by about one-fifth between 1975 and 1980 in response to sharp reductions in feeder cattle prices and increases in production costs during the midseventies. Several physical measures of performance indicate that most resources were used more efficiently in beef cow-calf production in 1980 than in 1975. This report identifies the structural characteristics and operating practices for beef cow-calf production operations in the United States.

This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The beef industry is ever evolving and plays a vital role in the United States economy. Many factors determine the impact of a beef operation and its contributions to the industry as a whole. Beef cow-calf operations in the Southeast United States are often criticized for being behind-the-times in management practices used and being slower to adopt new technologies. Is there a reason these producers manage differently than those in other regions? What impact, if any, do communication practices have on the management decisions for these operations? The purpose of this study was to better understand how Southeast beef cow-calf producers seek and process risk information about herd management and to determine communication preferences of these producers. The Risk Information Seeking and Processing (RISP) model was used to develop a survey, which was distributed through various beef producer organization channels to 11 Southeast states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. The specific research objectives were to 1) define demographic and sociocultural characteristics of beef cow-calf producers in the Southeast United States, and 2) determine the perceived knowledge gap of beef cow-calf producers in the Southeast United States as it relates to risk management knowledge. The research question addressed by this study asked how beef cow-calf producers in the Southeast United States use different communication channels to influence their level of knowledge regarding risks facing their operations. Researchers proposed the following hypothesis, based on the RISP model: as the level of perceived risk increases, beef cow-calf producers in the Southeast United States will seek risk information through nonroutine channels. A majority of respondents identified their beef operations as having moderate risk in the areas of animal health, breeding management, calving management, animal growth, economic management, and marketing/selling calves. Perceived risk of weaning was categorized as moderately low. The preferred channel to receive beef-related information was through print magazines, and the preferred source of information was local extension. Additionally, respondents appeared to generally seek heuristic messages about beef risk management. In this study, no information was collected to assess the processing of these messages.
