Records Aid Ohio Dairymen In Selling Cows
Ohio dairymen use herd production records to distinguish good cows from poor ones and to guide sales. McKellip of Ohio State University notes rapid herd turnover with 147 cows sold for beef and 200 sold to other dairymen, while 140 cows were bought to replace those sold. Association testing covers 16 591 cows, with dry cows numbering 2 282 and indoor feeding impacting production.

Rotational Grazing Improves Pasture in Ohio Farm
In Columbus on December 22 a Ruther county farmer credited rotational grazing with reviving a damaged pasture. Buell, managing 40 steers and horses on 87 acres, split pastures to avoid overgrazing, boosting cattle weight by about 288 pounds per head and restoring pasture health by September. The experiment aligns with Soil Conservation Service recommendations in Ohio demonstrations.

Ohio Agronomist Reports Pasture Improvement Tests
D R Dodd of Ohio State University summarizes field trials across southeastern and southern Ohio showing pasture lime is essential before fertilizer improves grass. Trials test seven methods plus a lime-treated check, with nitrogen, phosphate, and potash varied. Results indicate nitrogen alone boosts early growth but also stimulates weeds, while lime enables meaningful pasture gains and yields in suitable slopes.

Nitrogen plots decline after peak but seven year fertilizer gains
Seven plots received annual nitrogen. declines followed the initial peak. Phosphate alone or with potash showed little first year effect but improved steadily, with phosphate alone yielding 29 percent more than control in year one and 149 percent by year seven. Complete fertilizer produced the largest pasture gains at the highest cost but also the greatest net returns per acre.
