As we progress through summer grazing of spring-calving cow-calf pairs and prepare for fall calving, fall run of preconditioned and high-risk calves, and the threat of increased pathogen loads (E. coli, clostridium, salmonella) in feedlot cattle, herd health and overall performance should be top of mind.

“Our cows are only as productive as the feeds we produce for them.” There is nothing closer to the truth. Feeds and forages are the foundation for high-producing dairy rations and often determine our ability to achieve the optimal efficiency in milk production.
