	CHAI - Beef Cattle
		While in the crowded yards, cattle are prone to tick fever, buffalo fly, bovine herpes virus (BHV1), bovine respiratory disease (BRD), acidosis, feedlot bloat, liver abscesses, sudden death syndromes, botulism, and pink-eye.
		Cattle are driven from holding pens into channels and ramps designed to minimize resistance and maximize cooperation.
		The objective of the cattle trade is to manage the entire process from breeding to the feedlot and through the slaughterhouse to the optimum end point — a high profit margin.

	Beef Cattle Frame Scores
		Low frame scores are descriptive of cattle which are short in stature for their age, tend to be early maturing, and finish for slaughter and mature at lighter body weights.
		High frame scores are indicative of cattle that are tall for their age, have a slower rate of maturity, and finish and mature at relatively heavy body weights.
		Several beef cattle breed associations have developed their own frame score formulas and charts which are based on average growth and development within their specific breed and vary slightly from BIF calculations.

	Factory Farming - Veal Production
		Many beef cattle are born and live on the range, foraging and fending for themselves for months or even years.
		One common malady afflicting beef cattle is called "cancer eye." Left untreated, the cancer eats away at the animal's eye and face, eventually producing a crater in the side of the animal's head.
		Cattle may be transported several times during their lifetimes, and they may travel hundreds or even thousands of miles during a single trip.

	Housing, Husbandry, and Welfare of Beef Cattle, QB 95-16
		Language: English Descriptors: Beef cattle; Steers; Somatotropin; Dosage effects; Insulin-like growth factor; Growth; Performance; Carcass composition; Blood serum Abstract: One hundred twenty crossbred beef steers averaging 377 kg were used in a 2 X 4 factorial experiment to determine the dose-response effects of recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbST) implants on growth performance and carcass characteristics.
		Cattle kept overnight in the lairage had a greater concentration of free fatty acids at the time of slaughter than those slaughtered on the day of arrival.
		Feedlot cattle were fed various grain and roughage sources corresponding to the regions in which they were fed. Feeds produced in a state were preferentially used by cattle in that state with that state's efficiency; any additional feedstuffs required used water at the national efficiency.

	Beef Cattle Production Profiles
		Not only do beef cattle provide the Midwestern farmer with a means of adding value to corn and alfalfa produced on the farm, but it also means that feedlot operations have few trucking or transportation fees to pay to access high protein feed.
		Beef cattle for slaughter are produced either as yearlings started on pasture and finished on feedlots or as calves fed on lots from time of weaning.
		The worms are transmitted by the ingestion of infective larvae on herbage in fecally contaminated pasture forages.

	Salt for Beef Cattle
		However, if cattle are fed normal salt intakes, differences in gut fill are eliminated in a short time as indicated by the equal dressing percents for steers on both treatments.
		The sodium requirement for beef cattle is the primary factor determining how much salt should be fed. Morris (195) reviewed several papers and concluded that the sodium requirement was approximately 0.08% for growing cattle and 0.10% for lactating cattle.
		This undoubtedly is the major reason that grazing cattle and or cattle fed silages have increase voluntary salt intakes compared to cattle fed high concentrate diets.

	G2058 Vitamins for Beef Cattle, MU Extension
		Vitamin needs of beef cattle can be confined largely to A, D and E. This is because bacteria in the rumen of cattle are considered to have the ability to synthesize vitamin K and the B vitamins in sufficient quantities to meet the animal's requirement.
		Cattle consuming rations high in corn silage, sorghum or oat silage and grass-legume haylage have been found to deplete normal stores of vitamin A in the liver, even though these feeds contained medium to high levels of what was thought to be beta-carotene.
		Most rations fed to beef cattle in Missouri are adequate in vitamin E. Adding two to five IU of vitamin E per pound to high-grain rations devoid of leafy roughages has increased feedlot cattle performance in a few Corn Belt trials, but not in others.

	Beef...from Farm to Table
		All cattle start out eating grass; three-fourths of them are "finished" (grown to maturity) in feedlots where they are fed specially formulated feed based on corn or other grains.
		Some companies promote their beef as "natural" because they claim their cattle weren't exposed to antibiotics or hormones and were totally raised on a range instead of being "finished" in a feedlot.
		Beef that has turned brown during extended storage may be spoiled, have an off-odor, and be tacky to the touch.

	G2071 Urea Supplements for Beef Cattle, MU Extension
		Cattle, sheep and other ruminants can use urea to replace part of the protein in their diet because of the host of microorganisms (bacteria and protozoa) present in their rumen.
		For cattle to use urea, microorganisms in the rumen must be able to convert the ammonia released from the urea into microbial protein.
		Any reduction in performance of the cattle fed urea would have to be deducted from the value of urea to replace soybean meal in a ration.

	INTRODUCTION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		At beef cattle feedlots, manure that is deposited on the ground is scraped and removed every 120 to 365 days, as opposed to swine and dairy operations that scrape or remove manure as often as every day.
		Beef cattle manure has a much lower moisture content than dairy and swine waste because water is not added during the waste management process.

		The exodus of cattle feeders with a one-time capacity under 1,000 head from Cornbelt states, particularly Iowa, Minnesota, and Illinois, was very substantial during the period between the mid-1970s and mid-1980s.
