Feeding and weed control tips for pasture and small grains
Farmers are advised to monitor pasture forage for steers in hot months and consider grain or hay feeding. Heifers with flesh should receive finishing rations, and weed control in small grain fields should use targeted herbicides with proper timing. Alfalfa seeding in August requires preplant weed control with Eptam or 2 4 D B, and avoid late spraying to prevent choking out regrowth.
