Calves Thrive On Forage And Wintering Plan For Beef Producers
Calves can profit from a forage based winter program as recommended by University of Tennessee expert Chamberlain. Low to moderate protein intake during the first winter and spring pasture can improve gains, with calves moved to pasture by April and fed through Sept. Summer grazing uses treelike forage for about 6 to 8 weeks. Weather impacts on crops persist in North Carolina as drought reduces corn yields and stresses soybeans and cotton, while tobacco fares better. University of Tennessee specialists discuss soybean and corn practices, planting dates, row spacing, fertilization, and storage, with a focus on forage and cull handling at Milan Field experiments.
