Grazing Cows on Corn Could Cut Beef Herd Costs
Manitoba farm guidance outlines how grazing beef cows on corn can lower winter feed and operating costs, with corn providing high energy and matching protein needs for dry cows in mid to late pregnancy. It notes reduced manure handling costs, fertility benefits for subsequent crops, and typical feed costs per cow per day ranging from 0.62 to 1.63 depending on conditions. Local trials across Ste Rose Alonso and Ste Amelie show potential savings with adequate corn yield and electric fencing to manage grain first, with about 250 cow days per acre.
