Ranching has always been a challenging and risky operation. Producers deal with production risk on a daily basis. A late winter storm during calving or lambing season can result in sickness and even death for many new born calves and lambs. Drought can reduce available grazed forages and increase feeding costs. Sickness or disease may limit weight gain or be detrimental to reproductive performance

Birdsfoot trefoil is a high-quality forage recommended for irrigated perennial pastures, either in mixtures with grasses or in pure stands. In this bulletin we report on the forage nutritive value of pure stands of birdsfoot trefoil harvested at 6- week intervals, and compare it to alfalfa harvested at the same intervals.

Like alfalfa, birdsfoot trefoil is a deep-rooted legume that fixes its own nitrogen. However, it contains a small amount of tannin which means that cattle and sheep will not bloat, even when grazing birdsfoot trefoil in pure stands. In this bulletin, we report on the dry matter production of a number of cultivars of birdsfoot trefoil and find that it yielded about two-thirds as much as alfalfa in pure stands.

A Well Designed Goat Grazing Plan Can Reduce Noxious Weeds, Sterling Banks
All Current Publications
Goat grazing can be an effective tool in reducing noxious weeds, if the right grazing plan is designed and implemented. Areas where herbicides are not an option or limited, goat grazing can reduce noxious weeds by reducing seed production and plant growth.

Annual Costs To Establish And Maintain Birdsfoot Trefoil Pastures In Northern Utah, 2012, Kynda Curtis, Trevor Knudsen, Jennifer Macadam
All Current Publications
This publication is meant to reflect birdsfoot trefoil establishment and maintenance costs on a small-scale cattle grazing area (5 to 10 acres). Birdsfoot trefoil is a perennial legume, and under proper irrigation and management, stands in northern Utah can persist for up to 8 years after seeding. Establishment costs are amortized annually based on a 6 year stand life.
