Unfortunately Montana State lost their best Animal Science professor last year due to retirement and the Animal Science Department Head is a vegetarian ecologist :oops: myt- You need to decide what you want to specialize in- if it is feedlot nutrition by all means stick with the midwest...

I haven't been around in awhile but this topic caught my eye. Personally, I would be more apt to go with DNA testing than ultrasound if you were choosing between two technologies. The ultrasound information can vary just by the position of the animal and the amount of water they have drank...

Another option might be to contact the College of Ag at SDSU and UN offering your place for paid internships, calving classes, etc. Or advertising within the department for a job opening.

Somebody should remind these idiots that horses were raised as a meat source after the price went into the tank when they disbanded the calvary. Grandpa said he would rather eat a 2 y.o. filly than a 2 y.o. beeve anytime and not waste the money. With hay prices like they are and what they are...

How would this differ much from the Harris Ranch, CNB, or Agri Beef branded products?

The vaccine doesn't prevent infection; it only decreases the death losses and shedding of the virus by infected animals. Additionally, vaccination with one virus type does not protect against others (there are 7 virus types and 50 + subtypes).

Shoot, Shovel, and Shut-up. The problem with this bunch they brought in was they collared several of them. :( They have some documentation of wolves being on the highline in 50's and 60's. Most of the surveys were done in Glacier. The government spent Millions of dollars to extirpate the...

MRJ- All the associations do have their strengths and weaknesses. I was a staunch R-CALF supporter until I went to a meeting and was amazed by the ability of an officer in the group to twist and turn facts and manipulate data to present to the public. They have some valid points but need to...

Robert Mac- I am awed by ignorance.

Lean beef is healthier to eat on a day to day basis compared to a prime steak or a Big Mac. It is unhealthy to eat a 600-700 calorie steak plus all the sides for every single meal especially when the majority of Americans do nothing for exercise or work behind a desk all day. A similar sized...

I would say two of the best programs that has come out of the Checkoff dollars is the Beef Quality Assurance information and the cow-calf and beef quality audits. RobertMac- I don't believe beef fat is responsible for the obesity problem, heart disease or cancer. I believe automobiles...

3 oz is the set portion size for all meat products by the USDA, including poultry, pork, and fish. Are we losing sales by following the guidelines, I don't believe so. IMHO your opinion on supersize compared to portion size may show the obvious differences in nutrient concentration between the...

Sandhusker I don't disagree with you there but until COOL is implemented you won't see the US Brand unless it is from a niche market or branded beef product. Thus, are we shooting ourselves in the foot for marketing beef in general at the present? Are we losing customers by explaining the...

Oldtimer, I would guess because in some instances the born, raised, and slaughtered is not true. Prior to BSE about 15% of Montana ranchers shipped their calves to Canada to be fed and then they returned to the US to be slaughtered. Thus, they were not fully raised in the US...
