Beef is the meat taken from cattle. An ox is a bovine that has been trained to work or be a draft animal. Beef can (and often does) come from oxen that have worn out their time under the yoke.
The best time to plant alfalfa is in the early spring or late summer. This allows the plant to establish roots before harsh weather conditions set in. Alfalfa prefers cooler temperatures and grows best when planted in well-drained soil with plenty of sunlight.
No. Grazing land for cattle needs much more space than does grain production for the same caloric benefit.
They were the only type of cattle available in the 1800's that could be raised and used for beef production in the United States, particularly in the western territories. They were tough, durable, and could be raised with minimal to no human management or interference. At the time, they were the only and best cattle that could be raised in the rough and tough conditions of the Southwestern portion of the USA.
For the small-time producer, yes, but as a conventional beef animal, no definitely not. Brown Swiss are bred to be dairy cattle, or to produce milk, not to produce beef. However, that's not to say that they cannot be raised as beefers: Brown Swiss steers tend to fatten up and finish better than Jerseys, for one, and even Holsteins. But they're still dairy cattle regardless.
he best time to identify the cattle tick is when it is at the adult stage. ... to a stage where there are great numbers in autumn and early winter the following year.
Many smaller towns prospered because of the cattle boom, because it brought the cattle herders and cowboys to town. When the cattle drive was finished, the cowboys were anxious to spend their money.

These were the first breed of cattle to ever come to the Americas, long before Herefords or any other breed arrived to the US. Longhorns were the feral descendents to the Spanish cattle that arrived with Christopher Columbus when he came to America in the late 13th century. Because these cattle had over 300 years to populate the lower part of the United States and because they were the only source of beef available at the time, they were the only cattle that were used during the "Cattle Kingdom."
There is a bit of debate among cattle producers when the best time to band bull calves. Some prefer to do it when the calf's less than a couple weeks old, others prefer to band at weaning to take advantage of the extra growth that they get if they leave the calves intact until weaning time. This can be for either dairy or beef calves. So it's up to you when the best time is best.
The best time to deworm cattle is typically in the spring or fall when parasites are most active. It's important to consult with a veterinarian to determine the specific timing and type of dewormer needed based on the age of the cattle, the type of parasites present, and environmental conditions. Regular fecal testing can also help determine the need for deworming.
