    Alaska Range Introduction The heavily glacierized Alaska Range consists of a number of adjacent and discrete mountain ranges that extend in an arc more than 750 km long (figs. 1, 381). From east to west, named ranges include the Nutzotin, Mentas- ta, Amphitheater, Clearwater, Tokosha, Kichatna, Teocalli, Tordrillo, Terra Cotta, and Revelation Mountains. This arcuate mountain massif spans the area from the White River, just east of the Canadian Border, to Merrill Pass on the western side of Cook Inlet southwest of Anchorage.

    Tanana Lakes Recreation Area Master Plan Fairbanks North Star Borough Department of Parks & Recreation Tanana Lakes Recreation Area Master Plan 2007 Planning Team: Fairbanks North Star Borough, Department of Parks & Recreation USKH, Inc. FNSB - Department of Parks and Recreation Executive Summary This Master Plan outlines the Fairbanks North Star Borough’s (FNSB’s) plan for the future development and use of the Tanana Lakes Recreation Area, a 750-acre multi-use park south of the City of Fairbanks along the Tanana River. The purpose of the Master Plan is to provide the FNSB with a long-term, planning guide for gravel extraction and development of the recreation area based on resource opportunities and constraints, development opportunities and constraints, and public needs. The Master Plan details the planning purpose and process, existing site conditions and land use, resources assessment, public process and demand, development plan, maintenance and operations considerations, and permits and authorizations required for development of the recreation area. The project concept originated approximately 15 years ago by the FNSB and its need to extract gravel for use at the South Cushman Landfill. The unsecured site has historically been a common place for illegal dumping of junk or abandoned vehicles and other refuse, as well as other unauthorized and criminal activities. Passing years have brought to the forefront the desire to clean up the site in order to enhance the wildlife habitat and natural features of the area in conjunction with the FNSB’s plan to extract gravel. As a result, this Master Plan has become a priority driven by both public safety and the importance of establishing this area for the community’s use and enjoyment.

  • Bull Nutrition and Management
    BULL NUTRITION AND MANAGEMENT Stephen Boyles Ohio State University GROWING OUT YOUNG BULLS Young bulls should attain 1/2 their mature body weight by 14-15 months of age. Extremely low levels of energy intake early in life delays the onset of puberty. Feeding excess energy may reduce both semen quality and serving capacity. This is thought to be due to excess fat deposition in the scrotum, insulating the testes and increasing testicular temperature. HOW MUCH GAIN IS ENOUGH? Debates continue with regards to grain-based tests versus pasture based tests. It is felt by some producers that bulls that do well on forage will relay this performance to their off-spring. The alternative argument for grain-based test programs is that we determine their maximum genetic potential for gain. For example, suppose a breeder has one bull that gained 3 pounds per day and another gained only 1.8 pounds a day on the same diet. Rate of gain in the feedlot is about 50% heritable (Massey, 1988). The difference in rate of gain between the bulls is 1.2 pounds. Multiply the 1.2 by the 50% heritability and the result is .6 pounds per day. Since 1/2 the inheritance comes from the dam and 1/2 from the bull, divide 0.6 by 2, which gives 0.3 pounds. Thus calves sired by the bull that gained 3 pounds a day should gain .3 pound more daily than calves sired by the bull that gained only 1.8 pounds a day (if bulls bred to same herd of cows).
