While the realities of mud are part of the winter management season on the farm, there are several strategies that can help lessen its impact on the beef cattle herd.

Forages such as johnsongrass, sorghum, sudangrass and sorghum-sudangrass hybrids can contain toxic concentrations of hydrocyanic acid (HCN) after a frost event or during periods of drought.

Beef bulls must be developed properly after weaning to become productive herd sires.

Overseeding warm-season perennial grasses, such as bahiagrass or bermudagrass, with cool-season annuals can extend the forage production season into the winter months.

Calcium and phosphorus are two of the most important minerals in beef cattle diets and are considered macrominerals.

Stockpiling requires strategic management (and a little timely rainfall) for success. See how stockpiling bahiagrass works.

Many producers in the southeast U.S. have made the switch to making baleage or use both hay and baleage as stored forage in their operations during the year.

While spring brings new life to pastures in the Southeast, as we enter the late-spring time frame, we often encounter drier conditions.

While corn prices are high, we sometimes forget about corn as a tool in our supplementation toolbox.

Red clover can be a great way to increase yield and add diversity to any forage system.
