Wintering Beef Cows On Different Rations Tested
The Montana Experiment Station reports four years of trials at Havre on wintering beef cows. Cattle maintained weight across all rations with varying gains and costs, including corn silage with alfalfa and straw, corn silage with alfalfa hay, corn silage with straw, corn fodder with straw, corn fodder with alfalfa, and cottonseed cake blends. Some rations yielded higher gains but higher costs. others balanced cost and gain, and one showed potential when home-grown feeds are scarce.
