Calving CPR By Bob Paweek ' When a listless calf is pulled or delivered, refrain from hanging the calf upside down or swinging it around to get it breathing. The weight of the intestines pushes against the diaphragm, essentially compressing the lung field and making it difficult to take that first breath. Also, the amniotic fluid the calf swallowed throughout the pregnancy can flow backwards from the stomach through the esophagus and into the mouth. If the calf inhales at that time, he aspirates stomach fluid into the lungs. When you see fluid running out of the mouth and or nose of a calf being held upside down, that is a refluxing from the stomach not "clearing" his lungs. Instead, insert a straw inside the nostril. That acts as an obnoxious stimulus that the calf tries to spit and sputter away from Roll the calf from side to side, rubbing it vigor ously all the while. This combination of stimuli usually gets that calf breathing within the first 60 seconds.

BSE infects the brain, spinal cord and . central nervous system tissue of infected catde. It has never been found in muscle tis sue, the part of the cow used for steaks and roasts. Still, the possibility of exposure to BSE has some people wondering whether it's safe to enjoy that filet mignon. Good news for gourmets: The Food Safety and Inspection Service, a division of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), inspects cattle before slaughter to identify any that show signs of BSE or other TSEs. It can spot infected cattle by looking for unusual behavior such as changes in tem perament, lack of coordination, difficulty rising and unexplained weight loss. USDA officials condemn animals that show signs of neurological disease and send the animals' brains to the agency's national laboratories for testing. They have examined about 12,000 animal brains from around the United States and Puerto Rico, and to date all organs have tested negative for BSE. The meat of animals even suspected of BSE in spection can't be sold for human consump tion. " Some people need to restrict their intake of red meat as a precaution against heart dis ease. Others choose not to eat beef because they don't care for the taste. But those who enjoy eating lean cuts of beef in moderate amounts need not avoid beef because of fears about BSE, according to Jennifer K. Nelson, R.D., director of clinical dietetics at Mayo and an associate professor of nutrition at Mayo Medical School, Rochester, Minn. "Red meat can be a source of dietary fat and cholesterol, and from that standpoint it can increase the risk of coronary artery dis Stockman's Scales are handy tools, but not everyone has access to them. Knowing how much an animal weighs is important in determining how much to feed, and estimating sale price. A simple yet reasonably accurate method of estimating body weight is described in today's article. Beef cattle Here's how to do it: 1. Measure the circumference at the heart girth from a point slighdy behind the shoul der blade, then down over the foreribs and under the body, below the elbow. See dis tance "C" in illustration. 2. Measure the length of the body, from the point of the shoulder to the point of the rump, properly referred to as the pin bone, in inches. See distance A-B in illustra tion. 3. Take the values obtained in Steps 1 and 2 and apply the following formula to calcu late body weight: Heart girth x heart girth x body length ( VrC y .. - m Side Bets; Gross Skins, Net Skins, Img Putt, I-ong Drive, Blind Draw and Best Ball.

"However, even with that disease, we don't exclude beef entirely. There is no need to avoid lean beef if you like it." USDA officials see no threat to the country's food supply. Nonetheless, in late January 2001 they proposed an end to the quality grading of meat from foreign coun tries. The USDA currently scores carcasses as prime, select or choice and marks the meat with a USDA quality stamp. Ameri can cattle producers worry that the stamp makes the meat appear as though it was raised in the United States. The USDA will announce a decision on this later this spring. The USDA temporarily banned the im port of all meat products from Europe on March 13, 2001. The action was a response to an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease, a contagious condition infecting cattle and other cloven-hoofed livestock. Foot-and-mouth disease is not related to BSE. The ban further reduces the chance of BSE-infected meat entering the United States. The precise risk of developing nvCJD after consuming beef gelatin and dietary supplements is not knowri, although scien tists believe that the risk is very small for products made from American cattle. People question whether it is safe to eat products made from nonmeat parts of catde, such as gelatin. Beef gelatin is used in can dies and other foods that need a thickener. BSE has not been found in cattle in the United States, so it is unlikely to be present in gelatin made from American cattle. In 1997, the U.S. Animal and Plant Health In spection Service banned the importation of live animals and animal products made from ruminant animals from Europe. Why might dietary supplements be a health concern? Brain and glands from catde sometimes are used in supplements sold Roundup divided by 300 weight in pounds. Example: Assume that the heart girth measures 76 inches and the body length 66 inches. How much does the animal weigh? 76" x 76" 5,776 5,776 x 66 381,216 381,216 300 1,270 pounds. Horses Tests have shown that the results obtained this way are accurate within 3 percent of actual scale weight. 1.

Concern about the possible tainting of supplements came to light in a letter pub lished in the July 27, 2000, issue of the.Nw England Journal of Medicine. Author Scott A. Norton, M.D., M.P.H, contended that supplement labels often obscure the fact that the products contain animal tissues. "The Department of Agriculture's ban on the importation of these tissues from coun tries in which the disease is found among catde applies only if the tissues are intended for use in food, medical products and medi cal devices, not if they are intended for use in dietary supplements," Norton wrote.' "Consumers who are wary of 'mad cow dis ease' might want the labels of dietary supple ments to provide understandable. ..information about any animal parts listed." Because supplement labels don't always list what's inside the can, it's hard to deter mine the true risk of getting nvCJD. Some products blend many animal and nonanimal ingredients, which makes it hard to estimate how much nervous tissue or brain the prod uct contains. There also is no way to know if products contain animal tissue imported into the United States before the import bans took effect. Supplements manufactured in the United States from American beef should be safe, but the label may not indicate whether all the ingredients came from the United States. Until the US. supplement industry is regu lated and monitored more closely, it may be wise to avoid taking supplements con taining animal tissue.

So, in order to find the number of acres in a piece of land, simply multiply the length by the width and divide by 43,560. When the opposite sides are unequal, add them and take half the sum for the mean length and width. Example: Determine the acreage of an area measur ing 500 feet x 400 feet 1. 500 x 400 200,000 square feet 2. 200,000 43,560 4.59 acres.

Natural Resource Notables: Spring planning and action The mornings are still pretty cold, but we've had some real nice, warm days to let us know that spring is on the way. National forecasters are looking at the western states with a lot of concern - drought again. That forecast translates into two very important points for us here at Warm Springs: Fire Danger and Weeds. Although we are in better shape for wa ter than much of the state - we are still low. Weeds like cheatgrass, medusahead, and knapweed are all taking advantage of the spring moisture before the "good" plants can get a crack at it. Cheat and medusahead are "annuals" - meaning that they do not live more than one year. Locally, they "emerge" or begin growth anytime that conditions are right from spring through fall. The green on the hillsides indicates that these weeds are already sucking the water out of the top of the soil profile and using up valuable nu trients that "better" grasses, shrubs, and even roots would need to grow. The result? The plants that we want to grow are "cheated" out of what they need. This system affects you in many ways, whether you realize it or not. If you dig roots, then you will find them harder to come by. The wildlife that we depend on for meat and hides will find , less quality forage to feed on. If you run cattle or horses - they will have to travel farther and work harder to get enough feed. As a homeowner, these weeds increase the fire danger around your property. Fire behavior varies among different plant types. Native bunchgrasses and shrubs evolved with fire - fires that moved through every 50 years or so. In cheat and medusahead, fire moves very quickly and returns often - sometimes as often as every 3-6 years. You can reduce the threat to your home and property by taking precautions around your home. Take steps to remove trees or other "fuel ladders" away from your home. Remove low limbs from trees. Re move brush and weeds away from your prop erty area. For more detailed assistance, con tact us at OSU Extension or talk to Fire Management. Tonight when you get home from work, take a look at your driveway and "open spaces" around your place. If you see small "forests" of dry, brown, "tumbleweed lookin'" brush that stands 2-3' tall - it is probably knapweed - most likely diffuse knapweed. Every one of those plants car ries up to 25,000 seeds. Do us all a favor and get rid of it. The best thing would be to vacuum it all up and ship it back to eastern Europe where it comes from - but that is not too practical. If you rake it all up or mow it - you are going to spread seeds all around. I think the best option is to rake it into small piles, mash them down and burn them in place. Next, get yourself some Roundup from Bi-Mart and be ready to spray actively growing plants as they near "bud stage." Be careful, as Roundup will kill all grasses and other plants it touches. Best to follow Roundup with some grass seed that is adapted to our climate (call us for recommendations). Putting down "lawn grass" seed won't work unless you are going to provide the water it needs. 2,4-D can be applied a litde earlier (April-May). Like any chemical, make sure you follow the label instructions and take the necessary precau tions. If you would like to know how to identify these plants and or would like some help putting together your "control plan" - give us a call at the OSU Extension office. 4
