Cattle Market Slump Hurts Farmers Across the U S
The Agriculture Department analysis shows March losses totaling about 100 dollars per cattle head due to a market slump and rising production costs. A 600 pound steer bought last fall would need about 45.79 per 100 pounds to break even, but March prices averaged 36.14, leaving a $9.65 per hundredweight shortfall.

Protein supply on Oklahoma ranches through high quality forages
Oklahoma ranchers can cut protein costs by relying on fertilized cool season forages like ryegrass and small grains. Fall and winter tests show crude protein from 10 to 30 percent in tall fescue, ryegrass, and small grains. Dry cows can graze briefly while lactating cows need more protein and more grazing time.
