Mineral Supplements And Feed Additives--Can They Eliminate Fescue Toxicity?, John Thomas Johns
Mineral Supplements And Feed Additives--Can They Eliminate Fescue Toxicity?, John Thomas Johns
Kentucky Grazing Conference
Fescue is the predominate cool season grass in much of the United States due to its wide adaptation and hardiness. Many of these acres however, contain an endophytic fungus resulting in production of toxins with negative effects on grazing cattle. The two primary responses in beef cattle are an increase in core body temperature and a decrease in dry matter intake. As a result, decreases in reproductive rates, milk production, weaning weights and ADG are seen (Tables 1 and 2). Many approaches to pasture management have been advocated to overcome or minimize the problem such as incorporation of legumes, rotational …
Grazing Programs: Environmentally Friendly, Economically Sound And Agronomically Feasible, Sid Brantly
Grazing Programs: Environmentally Friendly, Economically Sound And Agronomically Feasible, Sid Brantly
Kentucky Grazing Conference
The environmental soundness of our farms is the greatest, long term asset that farmers have. The topsoil, the trees, the cattle, the grass and crops on your farm are like unto a great financial account...and you are the banker. You make the decisions to: A) Use it all up now, B) Lock it away for someone in the future to make the decisions, or C) Utilize wisely in such a way that it is managed for financial success today, and still builds momentum for your future as well as your descendents.
Animal Behavior: Impacts On Grazing, Mark Kennedy
Animal Behavior: Impacts On Grazing, Mark Kennedy
Kentucky Grazing Conference
I am not an expert on this subject and give all credit for my limited understanding of this subject to Dr. Fred Provenza, Utah State University; Katy Voth, Livestock for Landscapes, LLC; Jim Gerrish and others. I have tried to put into practice, both personally and with other producers, many of these principles to aid in improved grazing management. This presentation will address only 2 aspects of animal behavior; 1) How animal behavior impacts grazing distribution and forage utilization over the landscape, and 2) How animal behavior affects diet selection.
Growing Forage Crops For Wildlife, Don Ball
Growing Forage Crops For Wildlife, Don Ball
Kentucky Grazing Conference
Numerous forage crops adapted in the Southeast offer benefits in production of various domestic animals including beef and dairy cattle, horses, and sheep (Ball, et al., 2002). Many of the same attributes these plants offer when grown in connection with livestock enterprises are also valuable in wildlife settings. Furthermore, the attitudes of many wildlife managers are changing, and their desire for knowledge of forage crops is on the rise. Consequently, forage crops are becoming more important and more greatly appreciated by wildlife enthusiasts within our region.
Maximizing Production Of Beef Cattle On Pastures, Justin Sexten
Maximizing Production Of Beef Cattle On Pastures, Justin Sexten
Kentucky Grazing Conference
Standardized performance analysis (SPA) of beef cattle operations continues to demonstrate the importance of reducing feed related costs. As producers look for alternative methods to reduce feed costs the benefits of improved forage management become increasingly important due to the opportunity to reduce feed costs while improving animal performance. One note of caution related to maximizing beef production from pasture, maximizing anything must be done carefully, the difference between maximum success and a total disaster is a fine line.
Grazing Program For Goats, Greg Brann
Grazing Program For Goats, Greg Brann
Kentucky Grazing Conference
Goats are often referred to as four legged bush hogs and actually they perform best when consuming browse. Goats eat from the top down so fields have a mown appearance even when forage is three feet tall. The typical browse height for goats is up to four foot however, they will rise up on their hind legs and sometimes prop on others backs to reach higher. Goats have an affinity for high quality forage. Much of the vegetation we have considered weeds as beef producers is excellent forage for goats. Goats select the high quality leaves and tender growing tips …
From Traditional Confinement Dairying To Grazing Replacement Heifers, Bill Payne
From Traditional Confinement Dairying To Grazing Replacement Heifers, Bill Payne
Kentucky Grazing Conference
I would like to share an account of a transition from a conventional dairy operation to our current Management Intensive Grazing (MIG) enterprise. In 1974, I joined my father who at that time had been dairying on a 265 acre farm in Lincoln County, Kentucky for twenty five years. We fed our registered Holsteins corn silage and alfalfa haylage and purchased a manufactured feed. Our herd of 70 Holsteins spent most of their time on concrete. We did make an effort to allow access to an exercise lot when weather permitted. However, during the greater part of the 1990’s we …
Pastures For Horses: Challenges And Opportunities, Robert Coleman
Pastures For Horses: Challenges And Opportunities, Robert Coleman
Kentucky Grazing Conference
Horses were born to eat grass and how they evolved has allowed them to be efficient users of a high forage diet. In fact, for many of today’s horses, they will survive and thrive on an all forage diet.
Can We Graze Year-Around In The Heart Of America, Edward N. Ballard
Can We Graze Year-Around In The Heart Of America, Edward N. Ballard
Kentucky Grazing Conference
Feed costs represent the major cost in most livestock production systems. A recently completed analysis of 225 Standardized Performance Analysis (SPA) Beef Cow Records on herds in Illinois and Iowa showed that feed cost was the overriding factor determining profitability, explaining over 57 percent of the herd-to-herd variation. Typically the cost of supplying nutrients to ruminant livestock is much greater using harvested feedstuffs as opposed to grazing pastures or crop residues. The primary function of a grassland farm is to convert solar energy to marketable livestock products in the most efficient manner. The fewer steps between the animal product and …
