Tells Stock Men How To Overcome Lack Of Roughage
Rex Beresford, livestock feeding specialist at Iowa State College, says cattle can finish in 30 to 60 days longer with less hay. A higher protein supplement lets corn and cob meal replace roughage, cutting roughage by half and possibly ending it in the final weeks. He urges finishing high quality cattle even with higher feed costs, noting the spread between half-fat and highly finished cattle allows paying more for corn.
