Deep, well to moderately well drained soils with moderately high water capacity offer low risk for high yields.

Cattle Lice Problem During Winter Months
Bell County Extension Agent Dr. Nelson Gay of the University of Kentucky cautions livestock producers that cattle lice spike in winter. He advises charge backrubbers and dusters, weather-appropriate spraying, timely calf nursing, securing colostrum if needed, and freezing it for future use. Separate wet from dry cows, ensure adequate vitamins A and phosphorus, and monitor tetany risks with magnesium supplements. Heavy feeders should gain 13 to 20 pounds daily for efficient market weight.
