Large frame cows demand careful management in Iowa
Ames experts say cattle with large frame size need strict handling to avoid economic loss. Daryl Strohbehn of Iowa State University notes efficiency hinges on reproductive rate and calf weaning weight, with early calving and timely rebreeding boosting herd performance. Forage quality, 5-7 month weaning, and strong winter feed are essential. no single breed fits all, and smaller framed cattle may be more efficient for some operations.

Pasture rotation boosts cattle carrying capacity in summer
Beef producer Dr. Ralph Yoder of Land O Lakes urges three pasture rotations for cattle this summer. Cattle should graze each pasture for two weeks, then move to a second for two weeks and a third for two weeks, with shorter initial rotations and a longer third cycle to allow leafy regrowth. This regime doubles forage quality and helps cows and calves gain, breed back, and stay in good condition with fertilization based on soil tests.
