Wheat as cattle feed if priced with corn
Wheat can be fed to beef cattle economically when priced at or below corn per pound. Coarse grinding or rolling improves intake. In fattening rations wheat should not exceed 50 percent of grain. Wheat has higher protein than replaced grains, reducing protein concentrate needs. Two pounds of wheat supply more protein than a pound of cottonseed meal. Fort Hays research shows wheat can be the sole protein source in high roughage wintering rations.

Time of Pruning Depends on Goal
Pruning advice varies by aim. Deadwood can be removed anytime. Prune live branches in spring for faster wound healing. Dwarf trees respond best to late June pruning. Prune early to control pests and diseases, or before blossoms form to boost fruit. September and October pruning weakens plants. avoid late summer shearing of evergreens. Fertilizing Bermuda lawns in late summer feeds winter weeds.
