Grazing

If you’ve purchased any supplies lately – maybe a few two-by-fours or sacks of feed – then you probably had a reaction that went something like this: “Wow! What’s in that lumber or those feed sacks?”

It’s hard to believe that we’re already back around to preparing for winter pasture preparation, but decision-making and planning time is here.

When’s the very best time to plan for a drought? That answer is simple: When it is raining.

Grasslands are a key component of the livestock industry, with feed constituting the greatest annual cost to livestock producers. Understanding the forage resource is essential for effective and profitable grassland livestock management.

It’s become that time of year when most cattle producers feel like they can finally relax.

This spring, Texas A&M AgriLife extension specialists came together from animal science, rangeland, wildlife and fisheries management, along with agricultural economics to discuss a timely topic – drought.
