Pasture Based Cattle Ideas Highlight Maryland Convention
At the Maryland Cattle Industry Convention in Hagerstown experts urged pasture based finishing to cut grain use and reduce runoff. Dr Fred Martz from Missouri outlined trials showing mixed pastures with grain supplements can finish cattle with less feed but lower margins, while David Schafer from Missouri stressed marketing pasture raised beef in niche channels. The event also covered Maryland Cattlemen’s Association elections with Ned Sayre and others stepping onto the board.
