Simulation of cow-calf production systems in a range environment: II. Model evaluation.

Abstract excerpt

Development of a general beef cattle simulation model was described in a companion paper. The objectives of this research were to demonstrate and evaluate the model's performance. Four experiments were conducted to demonstrate 1) life-cycle weight and body condition changes for different genotypes raised in a northern range environment; 2) responses in forage intake and weight to changes in forage quality,...
