Pasture Transition Advice From Hlmer Hansen
Hlmer Hansen of the dairy bureau at Tawa State College counsels dairymen to shift gradually from dry feed to pasture since early grass contains over 40 percent water. He notes cows producing 36 pounds at 4 percent milk need about 30 pounds of dry matter daily, implying fall rations may require roughly 150 pounds of silage. He suggests a balanced grain mix with equal parts ground grains and a high protein supplement, plus optional minerals, to optimize milk yield and profitability.
