Don’t Stop Grain Feed During Pasture Season
Farmers are urged not to rely on lush pasture to replace grain feeding for dairy cows. Maintaining grain rations ensures steady milk flow, better summer condition, and resilience against heat, disease, abortion, and parasite stress. The Missouri experiment station recommends 300-400 lb ground corn, 200 lb ground oats or bran, 100 lb cottonseed meal, plus a mineral mix to support milk and calf development.
