Ammonia Treatments Boost Low Quality Hay To Feed Value
In Cherokee County many cattlemen ammoniated 500 tons of prairie and fescue hay plus mile stubble during 1983. Three percent ammonia raised protein content and feed value, with costs around 10.45 per ton including plastic. Fifteen producers used the method assisted by the county extension agent, reporting better cow flesh and milk at lower winter cost. Lice become active with cold, spreading as cattle cluster, with carriers often including bulls.

Prices Up For Livestock But Wheat Prospects Dim
Kansas State University ag economists tell livestock prices are rising while wheat futures show little optimism. Cattle prices have increased despite bearish feedlot reports, and November hog prices gained with potential strength into next year. Corn and soybean prices are near bottom but due for seasonal gains. wheat bids for new crop fall below loan rates, hinting at possible declines. The economists foresee cattle heading toward the 60s to 70s per cwt, with hogs in the middle 50s, and warn of possible price retreats before spring. Local programs via county extension offices offer further detail.
