Heavy hay inventories are colliding with deepening drought, wildfire losses and stalled late-spring pastures across major beef regions. As more cattle move into drylot management, stored forage is becoming a critical lifeline.

Nous avons tous entendu parler de la façon dont l’intelligence artificielle (IA) envahit les arts. Vous avez besoin d’un article ou d’une image? Il suffit de demander à ChatGPT. L’industrie cinématographique a ouvertement exprimé sa crainte d’être remplacée par l’IA.

Sheep and goats share ruminant anatomy with cattle, but their smaller rumens and distinct grazing behaviors demand higher-quality, more digestible forage to meet energy needs.

After years of drought, Nebraska hay producers faced a new challenge in 2025: too much rain. This high-moisture hay raises new questions about winter feeding strategies.

Winter grazing isn’t just a cost-saver – it’s a smart strategy for livestock health and performance.

Llamas and alpacas may graze like cattle, but their nutritional needs tell a different story. With limited gut capacity and constant dry matter intake, these fiber-producing camelids rely on nutrient-dense forage to meet their protein, energy and micronutrient needs.

There is more we can do nutritionally to prevent lameness in horses. Ensuring a well-balanced diet along with monitoring body condition can go a long way in preventing lameness and delaying the onset of some metabolic issues.

What was once "grunt work" is now a critical piece of the puzzle, handled by a team that knows its impact.

Discover how selecting weed-competitive varieties, testing soil and irrigation water, adjusting soil pH, monitoring plants, controlling weeds and timing your harvest can have a significant impact on forage quality.

Most of what we read and talk about when it comes to improving forage quality is increasing protein, decreasing fiber and improving digestibility. However, this season, I have been observing more samples with high ash content bringing down RFQ values in comparison to RFV.
