Good Pasture Key to Economic Livestock Output
Extension dairyman BH A Cave argues pasture is the most important crop on livestock farms. A USDA survey shows milk cows derive one third of annual sustenance from pasture while only one seventh of feed costs are spent. Beef cattle breeding herds similarly rely on pasture for half their feed at one third the cost. South Dakota agriculture depends on livestock income and pasture cost effectiveness shapes future profit.
