Grain And Beef Production For Farmers In Seasonal Feed
Farmers feed calves a grain mix while nursing on pasture to speed turnover and suit beef herd needs. Spring calves fed on grass can market in fall at about 500 pounds. Dehorning earlier yields better beef cattle. Chickens need calcium with bone meal and limestone. Forest Service has 3,450 road signs for 22 Washington Oregon forests. Keep paints away from livestock until dry to avoid lead poisoning. If primary crops fail, soybeans or hay can fill gaps. Soybeans make high value hay when seeds half developed. Pigs should start eating shelled corn at three weeks with mineral mix, protein added at five to six weeks. Shorts or middlings provide protein, given separately. Dodder weed, spread by impure seed, damages crops. burn infected areas before seed, per USDA guidance.
