Time to Drench Sheep Before Pasturing Them
Iowa farmers may boost 1952 sheep gains by drenching before pasture with phenothiazine and lead arsenate to tackle internal parasites. A 1 to 9 salt mix with phenothiazine is advised, with caution on lead arsenate. If sheep stop eating, remove phenothiazine for two weeks and give salt alone. Rotate pastures every 2 to 3 weeks and monitor for worm symptoms.

Don’t Pasture Cows Too Early Advice from Extension Dairyman
Robert Fincham, extension dairyman at Town State College, warns farmers not to turn cattle out too soon. Continue feeding hay and silage until pastures reach proper height. bluegrass should be 3 to 4 inches, legume pastures 5 to 6 inches. Early grazing reduces pasture productivity and milk yield, and trampling can damage turf. Early grass is high in water, low in nutrients, and half-grown grass provides the best feed value. Rye can be sown this fall for an early spring pasture next year.
