UW Extension livestock expert Richard Watthauer urged beef producers to optimize cow diets in the final pregnancy month. He cited Lancaster and Wyoming studies showing higher calf livability and weight gain with targeted total digestible nutrient intakes. He advised a 50 50 corn and forage plan, corn silage last 30 days, protein supplementation, and pastures of grass and trefoil to balance energy, protein, and harvest timing.
