Grain-rich rations boost gains for Michigan cattle
Richard Schroeder and Bill Finley advise increasing grain in beef rations for August and September markets. Calves now around 600 pounds should receive about 1.5 pounds of grain per 100 pounds live weight, rising to 2 pounds later. Two pounds of 32 percent protein supplement daily recommended with silage, water, minerals, and bone meal provided. Proper barn conditions and pasture-class land notes, plus leptospirosis rising as a costly livestock disease per MSU veterinarians.

Dairy Cows Benefit From Postcalving Rest and Nutrition
Michigan State University extension dairy specialist Don Hillman says cows should not be rebred until at least 60 days after calving to recover. Cows in good condition at calving, plus quality roughage and 2 to 4 pounds of grain feed for 6 to 8 weeks before calving, improve coming through calving. If roughage is poor or cows are thin, 10 to 12 pounds of grain may be needed in the last month before calving.
