Grass Legumes Boost Beef Gain In Stocker Pastures
L H Simers reports on pasture trials showing grass legume mixtures outyield nitrated grass for beef gain.

Across an 80 acre study, grass legumes stocked 43 steers at 1.87 pounds daily for 225 pounds per steer versus 38 yearlings at 1.06 pounds daily for 178 pounds per steer on nitrated grass.
