“…It is also important to remember that while this region provides a favorable climate for various agricultural crops, untimely cold spells can have devastating consequences (Frankson et al, 2022). These untimely cold spells have resulted in ongoing breeding efforts focusing on cold tolerance characteristics to ensure bermudagrass production after these late freezing events (Anderson, 2009; Anderson et al, 2007; Anderson & Wu, 2011; Baxter et al, 2022).…”

Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.) is one of the primary perennial forages in the southeastern USA. Newer hybrid cultivars have superior production and nutritive value compared to common ecotypes. However, there are many challenges facing bermudagrass production in the region. First, the bermudagrass stem maggot (BSM; Atherigona reversura Villeneuve) has severely damaged bermudagrass throughout the region. Strategically timed pyrethroid applications significantly reduce adult BSM populations, but efforts are needed to develop integrated pest management plans. Second, an increasing number of producers are noting challenges with green‐up following winter dormancy. This may be attributed to disease, unbalanced soil fertility, and weed pressure. Perhaps one of the most limiting factors for continued production is the deficit of sprigs and trained personnel to sprig hybrid bermudagrasses. This research is critically important as the need for cold‐tolerant bermudagrass is increasing as tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceum (Schreb.) S. J. Darbyshire) is declining due to changes in temperature and precipitation throughout the northern parts of the region. Plant breeders are investigating hybrid bermudagrass at latitudes >35° with respect to freeze or cold tolerance. Despite the many challenges facing hybrid bermudagrass in the southeastern USA, researchers are working to ensure its persistence, productivity, and availability for the future.

“…The significance of sex of the calf as a factor influencing weaning weight or preweaning average daily gain has been reported by many researchers and summarized by Petty and Cartwright (1966) and Anderson (1977) In all the reports summarized by Petty and Cartwright (1966) and Anderson (1977), the effect for differences in weaning weight over years was always significant. This was to be expected,…”
