Don’t Stop Grain Feed During Pasture Season
Early pasture for dairy cows cannot replace grain feeding. Rely on a prepared ration from the Missouri experiment station: 300-400 lb ground corn, 200 lb ground oats or bran, 100 lb cottonseed meal, plus a mineral mix. Minerals supply lime and phosphate to aid milk, condition, calf development, and disease resistance.

Immature Sweet Clover Raises Bloat Risk for Cattle
Immature clover causes bloat in cattle if wet with dew or rain. Alfalfa and mature clover are safer. Keep cows off pastures until dew dries, provide salt and lime, and feed before turnout. Prolonged sweet clover feeding can bleed them to death, especially with moldy or frost damaged hay. Dehorning or castration after consuming such feed may trigger fatal internal bleeding.
Weedy pastures hurt milk quality say farm experts
Farm Journal notes weeds like ragweed pigweed and goldenrod lower flavor and milk flow. Cows avoid weeds, so provide good roughage grain and supplements or ready mixed dairy feed. Sheep help weed control while dairy cows support milk production on a proper program.
