Selection for High Marbling or High Retail Product Yield Did Not Affect Reproduction Traits in First-Calf Heifers
The objective of this Montana State Univ. study was to evaluate the impact of selection for high marbling or high retail product yield on reproduction traits and calf performance of first-calf heifers in a herd of western range cattle.

Nutritional Content of Crop Residues
The corn cob and stalk are lowest in protein, energy and palatability. The leaf and husk are intermediate in nutrient quality, but high in palatability. The grain is highest in nutrient quality.

Stocking Rate of Crop Residues
The stocking rate of crop residues is a function of grain yield. The greater the yield the more husk and leaves, the more that is available for the cow to consume. Due to new genetics for corn, the more disease resistant and stonger stalks, there is less ear-drop for cows.

Grazing Strategies for Crop Residues
If residue fields are strip-grazed and there are extended periods of deep snow, some of the best feed may be ungrazed because of snow cover.

Supplementation Strategies for Cows Grazing Crop Residues
As long as cows have grain to select in a cornstalk field, the diet is probably above 8 to 9.5 percent crude protein and as high as 70 percent TDN.
