How much would hay, grain cost for a steer?
Hi Mook~ The answer depends on a couple of different things. First, prices in your area. Second is how much weight you want the steer to gain or maintain. The more grain you feed, the more weight he will gain. Cows eat on average 3% of their body weight. So if you are only feeding hay, it is 30 lbs of hay per day. Grain has a higher DE (digestible energy) calculation than hay. Grain is denser in calories than hay. If you want fast weight gain, you'll add more grain. You'll need to feed more in the winter, as outdoor animals burn excess calories simply to maintain their body heat. They don't gain a lot of weight over the winter. Let's say a small 2 strand (65lb) bale of hay is $9.00. This will last your steer for 2 days (without the addition of grain). That is 15 bales per month. 15 x $9 = $135 per month You can save money by buying large bales that weigh about 1000lbs, which will reduce your cost of feeding. If you want to add grain, let's figure that a 50lb bag costs $10. 2lbs a day will cost an additional 40 cents a day. 40cents x 30 = $12 per month Also figure in deworming, which is cheap and can be purchased as a pour on or wormer (depending on if you have a chute or the ability to catch him)
Which countries are in northern, central, southeastern, southern, and western Europe?
For the best answers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/axhcw More than one billion people in about 70 countries around the world observe DST in some form. Here are interesting facts about some of these countries: Most of Canada uses Daylight Saving Time. Some exceptions include the majority of Saskatchewan and parts of northeastern British Columbia. In the fall of 2005, Manitoba and Ontario announced that like the United States, they would extend daylight time starting in 2007. The attorney general of Ontario commented that "it is important to maintain Ontario's competitive advantage by coordinating time changes with our major trading partner, and harmonizing our financial, industrial, transportation, and communications links." Other provinces have indicated that they may also follow suit. It wasn't until 1996 that our NAFTA neighbors in Mexico adopted DST. Now all three Mexican time zones are on the same schedule as the United States. Also in 1996, members of the European Union agreed to observe a "summer-time period" from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October. Most countries near the equator don't deviate from standard time. In the Southern Hemisphere, where summer arrives in what we in the Northern Hemisphere consider the winter months, DST is observed from late October to late March. Three large regions in Australia do not participate in DST. Western Australia, the Northern Territory, and Queensland stay on standard time all year. The remaining south-central and southeastern sections of the continent (which is where Sydney and Melbourne are found) make the switch. This results in both vertical and horizontal time zones Down Under during the summer months. China, which spans five time zones, is always eight hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time and it does not observe DST. In Japan, DST was implemented after World War II by the U.S. occupation. In 1952 it was abandoned because of strong opposition by Japanese farmers.
Cost of PASTURE BOARDING. . ....?
Depending upon the pasture and if they also feed hay in it. A pasture that only has grazing can run as little as $60.00/mo in some rural areas but the closer you get to the larger cities the price because land is so expensive can drastically go up! There's a retirement pasture in Portola Valley, CA which charges $350.00/mo and you are NOT allowed to ride your horse! Go figure! They also feed cubes and have grain that you can supplement your horse.
How much room should a horse have in a grazing/exercise pasture?
Have you planned for a building to house essentials? Hay and grain have to be stored indoors to prevent mold. A shelter for your horse is important, and it isn't the best idea for him to be kept alone. With a plot as small as you are considering, there isn't much room for a building. You'll need room for equipment to maintain the paddock, since the manure will pile up fast and need to be removed, or it can overtake the entire area in no time. You will need a place to take the manure after it is picked up. Electric is nice to allow for a fan in summer or a heated water bucket in winter. If the property is not well drained, it can turn to mud rapidly if it rains heavily, and there should be someplace to get your horse off of the pasture. An area to ride is also desirable, unless you can just trail ride on surrounding properties. I doubt there will be even light grazing for long on such a small piece of land, since even if you keep up with the manure, it will be overgrazed. Two acres would be a more realistic and managable size to accommodate a building for storage and shelter, and paddock rotation so it doesn't become a dirt and mud paddock. You must not live in the US? A minimum of one acre per horse is pretty standard law around here.
What is the monthly average cost of living in South Korea for a foreign student?
If tuition is free, 900,000 is more than enough to live acceptably. Rent is about 200,000 - 300,000 won if you live in a goshiwon (just a bed and a desk in a tiny room with very little or no provided food). About 300,000 - 500,000 won a month if you're living in a hasukjip (the same kind of room as previously mentioned, but with food provided) or one-room apartment. Food expenses are completely up to you. Some people routinely spend 20,000 won a day on food. Others cook at home and eat like a bird and get by on almost nothing. I tended to try to budget about 5,000 won per day (enough for home cooking and one meal per day at Kimbap Cheonguk), but often couldn't stick to my budget. Travel expenses vary wildly depending on what kind of travel you're doing. Korea is not a very safe country for foreigners. Don't go out after 10:00 PM without a friend in urban areas or someone might attack you. Don't believe this "Korea is a safe country" crap -- I have been attacked in Korea more than once and Koreans just won't acknowledge that Korea is dangerous because of their swollen national pride. Korea has one of the highest murder rates of women in the OECD. Not that my country is any better, but that doesn't make Korea safe. If you stay inside after 10:00 PM or make sure to always go out with a friend after 10:00 PM, I think you'll be all right. Most men who get drunk and violent are in groups of similar racist, drunk men. They will attack a single guy (or sexually assault a single girl) because he or she is an easy target, but they're too cowardly in most cases to take on a group of people. If you go out at night with a Korean, and it looks like you're dating, that can also be a fight-starter.
Is Texas considered part of "The South"? And if not, what is?
For the best answers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/5pDvl I have a debate with my girlfriend about what states are true southern states all the time. She is from NC and considers all of Florida to be classified as a deep southern state. I consider the Northern parts that have not been taken over by the rest of the world. But what do I know I am a New Englander lol. In my opinion I would call Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, North Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Tennessee the deep south. I would exclude Texas, Kentucky, Maryland, West Virginia, and Arkansas. To me the deep southern states have their own identity as it relates to the civil war. Texas to me has its own identity. The rest just don't strike to have deep southern routes.
How is it like to live in Dallas Texas? What is the cost of living?
Does the fact that I’m seriously thinking about leaving the Dallas area tell you anything?The cost of living in Texas in general is somewhat low because there’s no state income tax. Texas cities are always trying to get favorable tax packages through the legislature in order to attract businesses and jobs, so the unemployment rate tends to stay fairly low.But. You also have to put up with lots of guns (open carry is common), disdain from right-wingers if they ever find out you’re a Democrat (except in Dallas proper, and Austin, which are more liberal than most of the state), fervent religiosity (mostly evangelical Christian), very hot summers, often frigid, icy (but not pretty) winters, schools that prefer high test scores to actual learning, high infant/maternal mortality rates, racial intolerance, tornadoes, drought, flood, hurricanes (though not in Dallas). And the list goes on.Dallas is probably no better or worse than many places in the US. But the fact that I moved to an historic suburb to escape the avalanche of McMansions and tear-downs in an otherwise tolerable location (old East Dallas), and am now enduring the expansion of the house next door to my historic one into a (you guessed it) McMansion, has made me rethink my options. I’ve lived here for almost two decades, but am now thinking of finding an off-grid property in New Mexico where I can live without non-stop pool-pump, leaf-blower, and traffic noise, and fewer people who care about my politics.If you’re Anglo, wealthy, Christian, gun-loving, and have desirable job skills, you’ll do fine in Dallas. If you’re something else, there are enclaves in the area where you’ll fit in just fine (large Asian neighborhoods, Jewish ‘hoods with assorted synagogues, many Hispanic areas of assorted income levels, some well-mixed suburbs near big tech companies, and lots of low-income neighborhoods with varying ethnic makeups).Having said all this, I have to confess that my daughter was born in a Dallas suburb, went to school in Texas, has a great job and a nice life. She wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.So, if cost of living is your main concern, you could certainly do worse.
What is the best breed of goats for grass grazing?
We have had pygmy goats and a saanen dairy goat for 3 years and they all need leaves from trees and shrubs all the time. Trees around here include lots of Maples. Silver maple or sugar maple are good but not red maple. White pine and blue spruce are staples in the winter in Virginia. We think its called a Russian Olive shrub that grows wild around here and they munch on that all the time. Also all kinds of prickly bramble bushes in the summer are their delicacies.They eat grass and hay and 2 serving of pelletized grain every day.
What is the going rate for grazing land?
I am in Scotland and pay £200/year for 2.5 acres . *EDIT* just read the extra info you gave,the 'extras' you are expected to do, like cutting their grass ?!..mebbe they should employ a gardener. It seems a large amount, but you are so right...mention 'horses' in relation to renting grass and people get greedy. Up here, permanent pasture on agricultural let is about £100 an acre for livestock grazing. I get mine quite cheaply just because the farmer can't get his monster tractors into the field !!. He tops, rolls and harrows it if I need him to, does the hedges and takes away the muck heap. My friend along the road pays £80 per month for 2 acres and has to maintain fences/grass/dispose of own muck heap and carry water from home in the car as there is none ! . How much to offer depends on how scarce grazing is around you and what the other options are, how much grass livery is in your area etc, etc. if you are not in an overtly 'horse' area and grazing is freely available, then you have more power to offer less rent good luck, hope you get it all sorted out !

Actual cost of keeping horses?
It depends on many factors like location, and what the horse will be used for. Pleasure horses don't cost too much to keep. If you had some land say with your home on it, and it's zoned for keeping horses, then the cost would be just the feed, equitment and veterinary care. For a rough figure, I would say it's probably about $500.00 per month, about as much as it costs to finance an expensive automobile. The really expensive costs are for those who keep horses for contests or racing. In some areas, usually in large cities, that could cost as much as three to five thousand dollars per month. This would include the costs of training. If the horse is placed in competition, then it is hoped much of the expenses involved would be offset by winnings. In general, horses cost a lot to keep no matter for what purpose. Most people lose money on horses. Very few come out with making money. I know of one group of people who made a small fortune off of one stallion. While he was alive, the champion racehorse Seattle Slew earned for it's owners a hundred million dollars. Karen Taylor was a flight attendant who asked some fellow pilots whether it was wise to sell her lumber business she owned jointly with her husband, to buy some racehorses. The pilots advised her that she may lose everything. She ignored the advice, went and bought about six at auction, one of which was Seattle Slew. She no longer works for a living now, but I suppose the pilots have gone through much frustration trying to make a living in these trying times. I know of this story personally because I once drove these pilots from J.F.K. airport in New York to their lodging in Manhattan.
Is Texas in the South?
In US parlance ‘the South’ is what is now the Southeastern part of the United States. In the early days of the US there were no states are far as the Mississippi and even after the addition of the Louisiana Purchase, it took a long time in include much beyond the Mississippi.Since Texas was a member of the Confederacy, it does count as a Southern State, especially when compared to its neighbor New Mexico. It wasn’t part of the old South, since it didn’t become a state until 1845 (Texas - Wikipedia). Unlike the states such as Louisiana, Tennessee, Alabama, it wasn’t part of the Louisiana Purchase (Louisiana Purchase - Wikipedia). Its population was tiny in 1850, being about 213,000 (https://www.census.gov/history/p... page 51). Texas has a very distinct history, very different from much of the rest of the South. Nobody in the North, would ask to take down statues of Davy Crockett or Sam Houston or Stephen Austin.After the Civil War, Texast voted with the other states of the Solid South (Solid South - Wikipedia).Every state is different but among the Southern States, Louisiana, Florida and Texas are probably the ones that have the most distinct culture. Texas always had a Spanish speaking population, unlike much of the rest of the South. Texas had a cowboy culture of the West as much as the plantation culture of the old South. Because of the presence of oil, Texas grew economically in ways that the rest of the South could not. The ranching/cowboy culture and the oil industry makes Texas different. Still it is a part of the South, but a bit different from the rest of the South. Very few people in the rest of the US would immediately know what makes North Carolina different from Georgia, but most Americans understand how Texas is unique.
What is the difference between South and North States in US?
People are much nicer to each other and acknowledge differences or problems that exist. Neighbors know each other. People generally have beliefs and act on them (not a lot of atheists or casual drug use down here, minus a few cities; and people who knock someone up tend to marry that person instead of aborting the baby or abandoning the mother). We're a lot more open about non-ideal race relations and having dialogues addressing them, rather than inciting riots or covering up the problem in political correctness until it boils over.We're also a lot more likely to serve in the military or work for the military as civilians because of our beliefs or for financial reasons than those in the Northeast.
What is the difference in meat quality between a Hereford steer and a Jersery steer?
Okay --- here is the deal. Once the hide is removed from the steer it is hard to tell the difference in the breed unless you are a butcher and have cut hundreds of pounds of meat. The milker breeds finish later than your meat breeds. Holsteins have a tendency to get large framed and lower fat cover on the carcass. They also give you alot of waste --- the paunch and hide plus the bone waste as they are large boned animals. In order to achieve around 600 pounds of meat your steer would have to weigh in the range of 1200 pounds. Angus and Hereford finish at a faster rate and create a cover fat faster. Most of these steers are moderate boned and less paunchy (stomach) These steers finish around 1100 to 1250 pounds depending of the frame size but yeild more meat with less waste. Jersey steers finish in between the two but create alot of kidney fat and their cover fat tends to lean towards the yellow side. They yeild well but you have more internal fat waste with these animals i.e. kidney fat. Quality hay and a grain will feed your animal out fine. Shelter is a must as the more confortable the animal is the better they gain. Fresh clean water is a must. Salt is also good. Steers will rub the scratch no matter what -- beef cattle don't tend to chew wood. Dairy calves tend to do that more since they have been bottle fed and kept mostly in a confined area -- boredom. Hope this helps.
What is the average monthly cost of living in the US (Los Angeles, CA) for a student studying?
Here's about what I spent monthly while studying in Los Angeles, you can probably cut some of these costs down: Rent (through the college, a studio apartment) - $850 Food (groceries, not including meals out) - $250 Gasoline (29 mpg car) - $100 (Bus/train passes for a month are about this as well, depending on where you're going) Entertainment (movies, eating out, etc) - $150 Healthcare (through School) - $1500/semester or ~$250/month Internet Connection - $30 That's $1630/mo. Like I said, you can probably cut down on this if you are better at living on a budget than I am. Areas that I've gotten better at budgeting include Entertainment and Food, both of which I now spend the same amount on but use for both my husband and I. Rent is also going to vary a lot, your college will most likely have the best prices but mine was a bit high. I could have saved about 200-300 by living off campus and sharing a two bedroom with someone else, but I wanted to live alone for studying. Your college will require you to have proof of health insurance, if you can get this from your home country while studying in the US it will most likely be MUCH cheaper as the US prices are astronomical. Good luck!
What is the origin of the phrase "only steers and queers come from Texas"?
I first heard it in 1963 from others in boot camp at NTC Great Lakes. It went on: And I don't see no horns on you.Our Company Commander was a Shipfitter 1st Class. The Navy only used jarheads as guards at the brig and disciplinary barracks.An Officer and a Gentleman was set at a naval aviators Officers Candidate School.
What's the pros and cons of living in Texas?
Pros: - variety, variety, variety. Huge metro areas to sleepy small towns. High desert to lush piney woods and alpine desert to sandy beaches. People whose ancestors came from Spain in the 1500s to people who had to sneak out of Vietnam post-fall of Saigon…a remarkable variety of cultures and ethnicities, especially in those big cities.- affordability. Most of Texas is pretty inexpensive to live in, and even those areas that are pricey (like, Medical Center district in Houston or near downtown Austin) are still cheaper than similar areas in California or Florida.- the people. Texans are generally speaking friendly and welcoming. If you're not used to random strangers making small talk in the grocery store line, you will be if you move to Texas. Cons:- the size. If you hate driving, Texas is not for you. A three hour drive along wide open interstates going 60+ mph is 'next door' by Texas standards. And our public and regional transit is abysmal, so driving is your only chance to go farther than across town.- the state legislature. There's conservative, and then there's "wharrgarbl batshit crazy alt-right" conservative. Our last three governors were George Dubya Bush, Rick Perry, and now Greg Abbott. 'Nuff said. Good people, terrible legislators.- the climate. Unless you enjoy 98 degree summer days (or more) and 60% humidity (or more)! And if you’re a winter person who loves snow and cold, well…unless you live in the Panhandle I have some bad news for you on that.- the ego. Texas is the best place on earth, and Texans know it. Texans aren’t always right, but we’re never in doubt. You can tell a Texan, but you can’t tell him much. You get the idea.
What would be the effect on a farmland if cattle graze on it?
THESE ARE THE EFFECTS OF GRAZING ON FARMLAND:Light or moderate grazing has minimal adverse effects. Heavy continuous grazing has drastic effects on rang areas (plants).Removal of apical bud will help initiate, growth from axillary buds but (photosynthetic) process will be disturbed. What happens to that whole system for the plant! The whole system is changed; at least 2-3 weeks are required or needed to start the photosynthetic activity at the same stage.During active growth season when range areas are heavily grazed, the physiological activities are adversely affected; fewer carbohydrates are provided for root-growth; root elongation will be affected.Leaf area is necessary for photosynthesis and it will be reduced by grazing. Reduction in leaf area will result in less photosynthetic availability to different parts of the plant in the long run. By continuous heavy grazing, the plant will lose vigor and will be unable to compete with an ungrazed plant. However, the end result of heavy grazing are these:Plant vigor will be reducedReduction in seed productionLess seedling establishmentDeterioration in range conditionAn increase of unpalatable spp of the area during the course of time.By trampling, soil erosion will increase due to low infiltration. But sometimes this does help in natural reseeding by hoof action.Change of spp composition form preferred to the least preferred spp.Animals will be feeding on less nutritious spp and their performance is un-efficient.Read More
What things is Texas well known for?
If you go (almost) anywhere in the world, people know Texas. The same can possibly be said for California or New York (although people would think of the city), but not many other states in the USA. Some people even think it is its own country (and many Texans want it to be!). When Texans introduce themselves, they often say they are from Texas first, clarifying “America” second. It’s the largest state in the contiguous U.S. and also boasts that many things are “just bigger in Texas.” So firstly, Texas is most famous for its state pride (and no, it’s not a bad thing).Secondly, Texas in known for two things of the same name, which go hand-in-hand: cowboys/Cowboys. Texas is well known for the Dallas Cowboys football team, which was once called “America’s Team” as well as the horse-riding, ten gallon hat-wearing cowboys. The cowboy culture is still part of Texan ethos, where people are down-to-earth, simple (in a good way), rugged, and friendly (Texas actually means “friend”). Alongside cowboy culture, country music and rodeo are also famous Texas things.Lastly, Texas is known for its large role and aptitude in the energy industry. Oil and natural gas has been a large part of the Texas economy for a while, and exports much of that knowledge all over the world on energy exploration projects.
What are some good ways to compare cost of living between cities?
One way to find out the cost of living is to use the calculator(see below). This is good way to start COL comparison on 2 cities you are looking at.- http://www.bestplaces.net/col/- http://www.bankrate.com/calculat...- http://swz.salary.com/CostOfLivi...Then, please take a look at detail of ACCRA Cost of Living Index (COLI) http://www.houstontx.gov/police/.... You see that expesive housing is the key reason for high cost of living in so-called high cost metro such as San Francisco and New York. SF Housing index 273 Vs Houston's 80.Therefore, I pay special attentions to housing cost by checking out website such as:- http://www.rentometer.com/- http://www.craigslist.org/about/...- http://www.zillow.com/- http://trulia.movity.com/rentvsbuy/Then 2nd largest factors you should look at the tax. If you make $100K+, you have to pay approx. 10% on state tax in high cost states such as California and New York. And, on top of it, because of progressive tax system, you end up paying more on federal income tax if you move to high cost (but high salary state such as CA/NY. Lastly, I find below link very useful on studying COL. - Kiplinger's ranking of cost of living by 367 metropolitan area. You can also compare with creative class workforce, median household income and income growth. http://www.kiplinger.com/tools/b...- Portfolio's 2010 Quality of Life: Major Markets.

What is the cost of turnitin?
First, Turnitin does not post its price.It goes for private quotations only.There have been postings online like what follows, but they are not enough information when one talks about price pegged on the student alone.Financial Times in a 2012 post placed the cost at $2 per student per year.PcMag in a post in 2014 said it's $3 per student account.Second, it is not meaningful to be asking, What is the cost of Turnitin? like it is pegged on the individual because -The price is not pegged on just one person or student alone. The price is pegged on the students, faculty, training, product, support product, and an annual license fee for the school. The price is institutional!The price varies from institution to institution.Asking for price per student does not answer fully a question. Price per student is just a piece of information about an institutional price quoted for the year.Turnitin is not a mere plagiarism checker that the focus is on per student account when cost is the topic.LIS Links | Library and Information Science Links in a 2015 post, said -Turnitin software is available in 2 kinds of subscription, not purchase. [Note: Limited access has been placed on universities.]Limited Subscription - around 500 documents. You can test yearly which cost is around Rs 75,000 yearly.Unlimited Subscription at Rs 125,000.UPDATE: 6/29/2018I was able to access a private quotation for a school.
