Beef Cows Need Protein on Winter Pasture
Wilson County Farm Agent Dan Pherigo says protein is the key nutrient for beef cows on winter pasture. Dry mature cows should receive about one pound of 40 percent protein supplement or two pounds of 20 percent supplement daily per cow. two pounds of dehydrated alfalfa pellets or three to four pounds of good alfalfa hay also meets the need. Nursing cows require more feed, and cows calving early or after fall conditions need nearly double the nutrients with extra protein and roughage or grain to boost energy.

Winter Concrete Needs Protection
Winter concrete can be placed in cold weather with precautions to prevent freezing for 24 to 48 hours. Remove ice snow and frozen soil, ensure the base is unfrozen, cover the pour promptly, and heat aggregates to 45 50 degrees and water to 150 175 degrees. Supplemental heat helps if the top surface does not dehydrate too quickly. Canada supplies about a quarter of all US Christmas trees.

Sorghum yields vary little with plant density in Kansas study

Steel Slats For Floors For Hog Units In Wilson County
Wilson county farm agent Dan Pherigo says steel slats now being fabricated are satisfactory for slat floor hog units. Slats resemble a Tbar or U-channel with about a two inch top and suggested spacing of one half inch for pigs up to 100 pounds, three quarters inch for larger hogs. Recommends corrosion resistant steel. Flat extended mesh with three eighths to half inch openings is for small pigs but won’t hold up with larger hogs. Steel grates or folding mats with narrow tops likely unsatisfactory and may harm hogs.
