Pasture upgrades boost beef gains for summer cattle
Chester County Extension agent Joseph H. Way notes Penn State tests show improved pastures yield far more beef than unimproved ones. Yearlings on unimproved pasture gain about .96 lb daily versus 2.09 lb on improved grass, with high-yield pastures reaching up to three times typical permanent pasture. He advises limiting winter gains to one to one and three quarter pounds daily for steers or heifers on good pasture and continuing grain for cattle with strong condition.
