Ranching

XII is the Roman numeral for 12.

it is not really a chip. it is actually a resistor. you can buy one on eBay for about $5.00. look it up. i bought one, increases by 10 hp and shifts later, improving torque. tricks computer into thinking the air temp is about 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

i really dont know because i asked and it made me do this plz help me

It didn't bring an end to the cattle boom, but rather began the end before it started. The Civil War had just started over a year ago when this act was passed in Congress, so it had, at the time, no effect on the cattle boom because, even at that time, the "cattle boom" hadn't even began. The boom or demand for beef in the American economy didn't reach its peak until after the war, where war veterans and other folks headed west with high profits in sight when the demand for beef back East had skyrocketed. They took those cattle that were accumulating in the southwestern portion of the United States, branded them, claimed ranch land to begin raising the cattle on, and hired work-ready men to herd the excess stock north to the markets.

But, with the end of the war came the drive west for pioneers and their families. They began to settle land wherever they could, and made it so that rouge cattle or open-range cattle couldn't graze or ruin their land, and this was made possible through the beginning of the use of barbed wire fences. The more settlers that came in and the more land became settled, the harder it was to drive cattle north to markets without running into conflicts. Also, with more settlers came more cattle through importations from European countries and introduction of new breeds, such as Hereford and Aberdeen Angus, two of the beef breeds that made their stake in America long after the Spanish Criollos were imported to America in the late 1400's. With more cattle, came less demand and prices went down. And when prices go down, it brings an end to the cattle boom to the American West.

Working on a ranch requires a variety of skills, including animal husbandry for caring for livestock, equipment operation for handling tractors and machinery, and basic mechanical skills for maintenance and repairs. Strong communication and teamwork abilities are essential for collaborating with other ranch workers and managing tasks efficiently. Additionally, physical stamina and problem-solving skills are important for handling the demanding and often unpredictable nature of ranch work. Knowledge of agriculture and farming practices can also be beneficial.

The Quarter Horse is the best ranch horse because of their ability to run fast, short, distances.

well, you could consider cutting the other tree down as well... or getting like 50 people with ropes and having them tie them to the tree and pull it down... Oh! I got it! Cut it into pieces and it would fall then! Like have people climb on top of it with chainsaws and stuff. If a TRUCK couldn't pull it down in one piece i don't know what would, a space shuttle? yes yes that reminds me you could use dynamite if its far enough away from your house. g'luck mate! First lets keep in mind that these "leaners" are called "widowmakers". That should clue you into the fact that unless you know exactly what you are doing, you are in for some very dangerous situations if you try the above suggestions. I have worked as a lumberjack for Asplundh and I will tell you that most likely the only way you will solve this problem is to cut down the tree it is leaning on. However, unless you are a professional lumberjack, I would not attempt this. This is extremely dangerous, due to the leaner being right above you while you work and the possibility of branches from the leaner or the leanee falling on you.

The last answer was for basic algebra. If you mean to solve this for a calculus class, this is how to do it. You need to optimize a function. We first have to start out with definitions... Let L represent the length of the field.

Let W represent the width of the field.

Let F represent the length of fence needed.

L*W=500000

2L+3W=F Both length sides+both width sides+ fence across the width.

Let's look at the first equation again:

L*W=500000

W=(500000/L)

Now we can substitute (500000/L) for W in the second equation.

2L+3(500000/L)=F

2L+1500000/L=F

Now we have a function. We can input any length, and we'll know length needed. But how can we find the length needed so that F is as small as it can be? If you know derivatives, there's an exact way. The next easiest way to do it is to graph.

Manner 1: Derivative

Set the derivative to zero...when the length stops going down and starts coming back up, it'll be at it's lowest point.

2L+1500000^-1=F

F'=2-1500000^-2

0=2-1500000^-2

1500000/(L^2)=2

1500000=2L^2

1500000=L^2

L=866.025

Now, we know that L=500000/W

so 866.025=500000/W

W=500000/866.025

W=577.35027 feet.

Now,

2L+3W=2(866.025)+3(577.35027)

Minimum fencing needed: 3464.1016 feet.

(To point out why a square doesn't work... Since you have three sides, it's more optimum to make this a shorter length, and make the two sided length slightly longer.)

Method 2: Graphing. Graph y=2x+1500000/x (y=fence size, x=length of side)

to to the "bottom" or the graph. Zoom in really far. As we zoom in closer and closer, we find that x=866.025 and y=3464.1016.

Thus, the minimum amount of fencing needed is 3464.1016 feet.

Most ranchers will put out salt licks when there is little chance of their herd getting enough elements from the earth. Sometimes there is enough natural occurring salts that are close to the surface for the cattle, but the winter would see even those areas covered with snow.

Forage content will decrease until the rancher puts the cattle into another pasture to graze. Cattle will graze the pasture until a) they can't any more or b) the rancher sees that they've taken off enough and moves them to a fresh pasture.

Something that many of the small farmers in the United States think is VERY scary! It will force them to spend thousands of dollars needlessly. It is supposedly to help with traceback capability in case of contamination. In fact, that contamination happens in the USDA slaughter plant. The animals don't need to be traced back farther than that. NAIS will require that every animal of the small producer have a $10-25 microchip (for which the producer must buy a $300 reader, even if he only has one steer.) And, yet.... producers of large herds don't have to chip each animal. They are allowed to group animals that will travel together from birth pasture to slaughter. Only small producers are required to chip individual animals. Additionally, every time an animal is moved, the owner much log into a subscription database & pay to report that movement. Again, while the big producer can report a group movement, the small producer must report each animal separately.

There are many small producers who believe that it is a move by BigAg to run the small guy competition out of business, because the small guy that you can visit is getting too much market share. It's all a different view. The small guy has one & BigAg (along w/ it's governmental marketing department) has another. As the 2nd paragraph in the governmental answer below says, the plan is being developed by BigAg & the government. It is being fought tooth & nail by nearly every small producer in the country!!!

The National Animal Identification System (NAIS) is a national program intended to identify animals and track them as they come into contact with, or commingle with, animals other than herdmates from their premises of origin.

The system is being developed for all animals that will benefit from rapid trace-backs in the event of a disease concern. Currently, working groups comprised of industry and government representatives are developing plans for cattle, swine, sheep, goats, horses, poultry, bison, deer, elk, llamas, and alpacas.

Already, many of these species can be identified through some sort of identification system, but these systems are not consistent across the country. Tracing an animal's movements can therefore be a time-consuming endeavor during a disease investigation, especially if the animal has moved across State lines.

In April 2004, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced the framework for implementing the NAIS - an animal identification and tracking system that will be used in all States and that will operate under national standards. When fully operational, the system will be capable of tracing a sick animal or group of animals back to the herd or premises that is the most likely source of infection. It will also be able to trace potentially exposed animals that were moved out from that herd or premises. The sooner animal health officials can identify infected and exposed animals and premises, the sooner they can contain the disease and stop its spread.

The NAIS will enhance U.S. efforts to respond to intentionally or unintentionally introduced animal disease outbreaks more quickly and effectively. USDA's long-term goal is to establish a system that can identify all premises and animals that have had direct contact with a foreign animal disease or a domestic disease of concern within 48 hours of discovery.

The first step in implementing the NAIS is identifying and registering premises that house animals. Such premises would include locations where livestock and poultry are managed, marketed, or exhibited. Knowing where animals are located is the key to efficient, accurate, and cost-effective epidemiologic investigations and disease-control efforts.

USDA anticipates that all States will have the capability to register premises according to the national standards by 2005. Officials with USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) are currently training State officials how to use a standardized premises registration system. USDA is also evaluating alternative registration systems that States or others have developed and want to use, to ensure these systems meet the national standards. In addition, USDA is working with States and industry to educate the public about the NAIS.

As premises are registered, another component of the NAIS animal identification will be integrated into the system. Unique animal identification numbers (AINs) will be issued to individually identified premises. In the case of animals that move in groups through the production chain--such as swine and poultry--the group will be identified through a group/lot identification number (Group/Lot IDs).

USDA is developing the standards for collecting and reporting information, but industry will determine which type of identification method works best for each species. These methods could include radio frequency identification tags, retinal scans, DNA, or others. As long as the necessary data are sent to USDA's information repositories in a standardized form, it will be accepted.

USDA will build upon existing identification systems and allow for a transition period from systems currently defined in the Code of Federal Regulations before requiring AINs or Group/Lot IDs. Working with States and industry, USDA will also evaluate various animal identification technologies to determine how the collection of animal movement records can best be automated.

As premises are registered and animals or groups of animals are identified based on the standard protocols, USDA will begin collecting information about animal movements from one premises to another. With an efficient, effective animal tracking system in place, USDA will be able to perform rapid tracebacks in case of an animal disease outbreak. As envisioned, only Federal, State, and Tribal animal health authorities would have direct access to the national premises and animal identification information repositories. They need this information to accomplish their job of safeguarding animal health.

USDA is investigating various options to protect the confidentiality of the information. It is important to note that the national repositories will include information only for animal and disease tracking purposes. Proprietary production data will remain in private databases.

If USDA decides to make all or parts of the NAIS mandatory, APHIS will follow the normal rulemaking process. The public will have the opportunity to comment upon any proposed regulations.

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of a 'fazenda'

Because often places like these were the closest points to sell and ship their cattle. They didn't have auction marts or sale-barns nor big cattle-liners back then.

It allowed the cattle to graze wherever they wished without the ranchers having to worry about nor plan a proper grazing operation. The term "grazing operation" or "intensive grazing" never existed back then.

Perhaps a philanthropist...someone who has a lot of land/and or money and is willing to sell for a very low sum or even GIVE it away as a tax write off.

A come-along is a ratchet devise used for pulling or lifting. The short cable is used to secure the come-along to a beam or post and the long cable is used tie on to the load being moved. A lever on or near the ratchet (gear) is moved to its appropriate position to either pull or release the object being moved..
