Shepherd note: Dec 08, 2016 by Byron Palmer

  • DATE: December 8, 2016
  • MANAGEMENT UNIT: MU-1

Getting ready to receive cattle in a week. The weather has turned much colder and steady rains are here. The grass growth we saw in October and November has seemed to slow down to a halt. However there is a lot more vegetative plant material this year then the same time last year. It will be interesting to see how many Animal Days the cattle get out of the Grass this year with the additional material. Curious if the additional material will improve performance and keep the supply about the same as last year, or if they will actually fill up and have more total animal says overall.
