This document summarizes various breeds of cattle, dairy cattle, beef cattle, and buffalo. It describes over 20 different breeds, providing details on their origins, characteristics, and purposes. The breeds described include Holstein, Brown Swiss, Guernsey, Jersey, Angus, Hereford, Brahman, Limousin, Chianina, and several breeds of water buffalo.
Beef cattle are cattle raised for meat production (as distinguished from dairy cattle, used for milk production). The meat of adult cattle is known as beef. In beef production there are three main stages: cow-calf operations, backgrounding, and feedlot operations.

Introductory presentation to goats in general and a variety of breeds an agriculture student would be likely to encounter. Appropriate for a high school agriculture class
Few countries in the world have no sheep. They are found in tropical countries and in the arctic, in hot climates and in the cold, on the desert and in humid areas.
There are over 800 breeds of sheep in the world, in a variety of sizes, shapes, types and colours.
Sheep were domesticated long before the dawn of recorded history. Wool fibres have been found in remains of primitive villages of Switzerland that date back an estimated 20000 years. Egyptian sculpture dating 4000-5000 B.C. portrays the importance of this species to people. Much mention is
made in the Bible of flocks, shepherds, sacrificial lambs, and garments made of wool.
The Roman empire pried sheep, anointed them with special oils, and combed their fleece to produce fine quality fibres that were woven into fabric for the togas of the elite.
Perhaps the first ruminants domesticated by man along with goats, sheep are a very valuable and important asset to mankind.
Sheep is a important livestock species . They contribute greatly to the agrarian economy, especially in the arid/semi-arid and mountainous areas where crop and /or dairy farming are not economical. They play an important role in the livelihood of a large percentage of small and marginal
farmers and landless labourers engaged in sheep rearing. A number of rural-based industries use wool and sheep skins as raw material. Sheep manure is an important source of soil fertility, especially in southern states.
This presentation includes native breeds and exotic breeds of nepal, care and management of newly born calf, heifer, pregnant cow, lactating cow, dry cow, breeding bull and working bullocks
In India, as not much of attention is paid so far as to this important aspect- animal housing, we find different types of animal houses constructed without careful planning and designing.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
2. Approximately 250 breeds of cattle are recognized throughout the world and several hundred more breeds are not currently recognized. More than 80 recognized breeds of beef cattle are available to producers in the United States, but an exact count is difficult to obtain because other breeds continue to be imported and crossing of existing breeds continuously creates new breeds.
3. A breed is a group of animals of common descent and possessing distinctive characteristics that distinguish them from other groups within the same species. These groups are referred to as purebreds , which refers to the purity of ancestry and implies genetic uniformity of all characteristics.
4. Breed Characteristics . Knowledge of breed characteristics is important to beef producers in both purebred and crossbreeding programs. Crossbreeding is considered to be the most efficient means of commercial production, but highly productive purebreds are the backbone of successful commercial crossbreeding programs. Crossbreeding programs use breeds that possess complementary characteristics to produce desirable offspring.
5. Major characteristics important in beef production include: mature body size, milk production, age at puberty, environmental adaptability, rate and efficiency of gain, muscle expression, cutability, and marbling.
6. Other Names of Dairy and Beef Cattle Dairy cattle are sometimes referred to as “ milk cows ” since milk production is their main purpose in life. Beef cattle are often referred to as “ stocker cattle ” or just simply “ stockers .
8. Modern beef cattle can be classified as one of two biological types, Bos indicus or Bos taurus . Each type has characteristics found in the breeds of cattle that fall under that classification, but the breeds are not limited to these characteristics. Bos indicus (also referred to as Zebu-type ) are humped cattle originating from South Central Asia. Bos indicus are adapted to tropical and sub-tropical environments, which include the stresses of heat, humidity, parasites, and poorly digestible forages.
9. Bos indicus cattle are later maturing than Bos taurus , but their longevity is greater than Bos taurus . Bos indicus Breeds . Some examples of Bos indicus cattle are the Nelore, Gyr, Guzerat, Brahman, Brangus, and Beefmaster breeds. Some are developed in the United States are often referred to as American breeds . Several of these breeds are composite breeds , which means that they were developed by crossing two or more breeds, but these breeds are still classified as Bos indicus .
10. Several Bos indicus breeds are common in the United States including: Brahman, Brangus, Beefmaster, Santa Gertrudis, & Simbrah
11. Brahman Originated in India. Able to survive on very little, poor feed. Insect & heat resistant . Excess skin and large hump on back. White to gray, red to black. Sweat glands .
12. Brangus The Brangus breed was developed in the United States. Registered Brangus, a composite breed, consists of 3/8 Brahman and 5/8 Angus. Brangus cattle are black in color and are polled. traits include hardiness, heat tolerance, muscularity, early maturity, and production of quality beef
13. Santa Gertrudis Developed on the King Ranch in Texas. All Santa Gertrudis are descendants of the bull, Monkey. They were created by crossing shorthorn cows and Brahman bulls.
14. Beefmaster Developed on the Lasater Ranch in Texas in the 1930s. No color standard, although predominantly red or dun. a composite breed: ½ Brahman, ¼ Hereford, and ¼ Shorthorn. Thrives under both practical and severe range conditions . Posses many desirable reproductive traits and have high milking potential.
15. Simbrah Developed in the United States in the late 1960s. a composite breed: 5/8 Simmental and 3/8 Brahman. No color standards exist for Simbrah cattle; they may be horned or polled. possesses both maternal and survival characteristics in a hot environment and produces a modern, lean, high-quality beef product.
16. Bos taurus breeds are those breeds that descended from the ancient Celtic Shorthorn . Bos taurus breeds show a closer resemblance to the Aurochs , particularly Scotch Highland cattle , than do the Bos indicus breeds. Bos taurus can be classified into two sub-categories: British breeds also known as English breeds , And Continental breeds also called Exotics .
17. Continental breeds, or Exotics , are breeds that originated in Europe and are known for weight gain and cutability . Continental breeds are generally large in size, lean, muscular, and vary in adaptability to hot climates. Several Continental breeds are common in the United States, including: Charolais, Chianina, Gelbvieh, Limousin, Maine-Anjou, Salers, Simmental, Tarentaise, and Texas Longhorn .
18. Charolais Originated in France. Traditionally white in color. Long bodied, large cattle. Heavily muscled. Coarse looking
19. Limousin originally from France. Limousin cattle can be polled or horned and range in color from golden red to black.

23. Maine Anjou Originated in France. Dark red with white markings or black. Developed by crossing the Mancelle breed with the Shorthorn breed.
24. Salers Originated in France. Fastest growing breed in the United States . Mahogany red to black in color. One of the last breeds to be imported into the United States.
25. Tarentaise originated in France. Red with dark pigmentation around the eyes and orifices moderate in size and are predominantly known for their maternal traits, including fertility and high milking ability. considered to be a dairy breed in their native region . less widely known for their ability to produce a quality carcass.
26. Texas Longhorn Developed entirely by nature in North America. Known for its long horns. High fertility. Were near extinction in 1927.
27. British breeds, also known as English breeds, originated in the British Isles. British breeds are smaller in size than the Continental breeds, but they have increased fleshing and marbling abilities . British breeds, which are the foundation of the United States beef herd, include the following breeds: Angus, Hereford, Red Angus, Red Poll, and Shorthorn .
28. Angus Originated in Scotland. Solid black in color. Naturally polled. Consumer preference led to Certified Angus Beef.
29. Hereford Originated in Hereford, England. Red with white head, legs, and underline. Horned. Early maturing. “ Mothering” breed.

33. Red Angus originated in the British Isles. possesses many of the traditional Angus traits, including carcass quality, maternal characteristics, calving ease, and moderate size
35. Purposes of Dairy Cattle Produces Milk. Reproduce to provide replacement milk cows in future years. Provide a means of living for farmers in the dairy business by providing the most milk at the least possible cost.
36. Holstein originated in Europe. The major historical development of this breed occurred in what is now the Netherlands . Winthrop Chenery brought the first Holstein over so the sailors could have milk (high production). Holsteins are large, stylish animals with color patterns of black and white or red and white. Average production in 1987 was 17,408 pounds of milk, 632 pounds of butterfat and 550 pounds of protein per year .
37. Brown Swiss originated in the mountain pastures of the Swiss Alps and declared a dairy breed in 1906. light silver to dark brown with dark points. 15,883 lbs of milk per lactation; 3.97% fat . a mature female weighs 1400 lbs. particularly strong feet and legs because of the mountains docile, people-friendly demeanor .
38. Guernsey Known for producing high-butterfat and high-protein milk . Produce their high quality milk while consuming 20 to 30 percent less feed per pound of milk. Excellent grazer . Produces 14,667 pounds of milk, 659 pounds of butterfat and 510 pounds of protein.
39. Jersey Originated on the Island of Jersey, a small British island in the English Channel. The island of Jersey was very protective of this breed. Because of this the breed stayed distinctive for many years.
