Dairy Cow Ration Options on Rye or Wheat Pasture
For cows yielding moderate milk, a ration on rye or wheat pasture with ground corn and ground oats or a mix of half and half proves effective. Ground corn with bran two to one is strong, while a standard 421 ration uses four parts corn crop, two bran or meal parts, and one cottonseed or linseed meal. The grain can also be fed at a profit, about 1 to 4 pounds of feed per 4 pounds of milk.

Gilts Should Have Good Feed in Winter Season
Gilts need a warm, dry bed and shelter during winter. They require protein rich feeds such as skimmed milk tankage meat meal shorts and cotton seed meal with caution for cottonseed.

Markets favor fat lambs under nine pounds, so feeder lambs should be kept under seventy pounds entry weight.
Hogs Threat to Orchards Warned
Hogs cause minor orchard damage when fed and watered but can gnaw trunks and ruin roots if left unchecked. Owners should watch hogs closely and remove them if injuries begin. Protect trees with sturdy fences around risk areas to prevent damage.
