Good Afternoon List Friends.
I just got the email notice from Alberta Agriculture: "Ropin' the Web - 
What's New Postings June 7 - July 2, 2004"
Email Address: webeditor@agric.gov.ab.ca <webeditor@agric.gov.ab.ca>
About once a month they send a list of all the new web pages posted 
since the last notice.  Here are some that might be interesting to "CUD 
List" people.

1. Early Weaning Stretches Forage Supply and Reduces Winter Feed Needs 
for Beef    
        
Cattlehttp://www1.agric.gov.ab.ca/$department/deptdocs.nsf/all
/for8669
          and
2. Fall Body Condition Management in Beef Cattle
       http://www1.agric.gov.ab.ca/$department/deptdocs.nsf/all
/for8670

3.  What Will Pasture Rent for This Summer?
        http://www1.agric.gov.ab.ca/$department/deptdocs.nsf/all
/faq8326
       This one suggests that Alberta pasture rents might run at  "a 
typical $25 to $35 per animal unit month range."  They suggest         
that anything higher might make dry-lotting cows at $1.20  per day might 
be an economic alternative.

Each of the pages has links to  other fact sheets which cover beef 
related topics.
