Farm Advisers Column on Seed Shortages and Cattle Rotations
The University of Illinois reports seed supplies for major legumes and grasses for next spring. Lespedeza timothy and brome grass will be very short with high prices, while alfalfa supplies remain ample except Buffalo variety scarce. Kenland red clover is resilient and Ladino seed remains costly. Harry Russell offers three wintering steer rotations and advises full grain feeding before pasture.

Daily feeding rotations for cattle with silage hay and grain
The plan proposes three daily feeding rotations to give cattle daily gains of 1 percent. Rotation 1 includes 22 to 25 pounds of corn silage 1 pound of protein supplement and 2 to 3 pounds of a good legume hay. Rotation 2 uses 20 pounds of legume grass silage and 3 to 4 pounds of shelled corn or grain while Rotation 3 feeds 4 pounds of shelled corn or grain and good legume hay free choice. Minerals and salt should be fed free choice all winter alongside each rotation.
