Winter Cattle Management

 

Cattle production always revolves around forage.  Particular attention to forage in the winter months is important because all warm season grasses stop growing and go into a dormant stage.  In most cases a rancher has 3 choices concerning forage in the winter……….1.)  Let cattle graze dormant grass if it is available.

2.)  Feed Hay.  3.)  Graze winter forage like oats, wheat or ryegrass.

 

When using dormant standing grass, ranchers usually feed a liquid supplement like Purina Accuration High Fat Liquid.  This enables cattle to digest the poor quality forage and maintain good body condition.  Feeding hay also requires supplemental feeding in the form of cubes, syrup tubs or Accuration Liquid.  Grazing winter forage would require a good High Magnesium mineral to help prevent grass tetany problems. 

 

Lastly, ranchers should make sure the cow herd has been rid of internal and external parasites.  Using a good de-worming product and a product to kill lice will help cows utilize the forage, supplement and mineral that cow/calf producers feed in the winter.  Proper winter cattle management is crucial to maintaining good body condition to enable cows to be successful with calving in the spring.
