Southern Iowa Grazing and Forage Budgets for Beef Cows
- Logan Wallace (Iowa State University)
Abstract
The McNay Research Farm has a beef cow herd used for research purposes. The cows and replacement heifers are grazed predominantly on improved cool-season grass pastures. There are approximately 300 spring-calving cows and 100 fall-calving cows. Grazing season is mid-April to mid-October or about 6 months (180 days), dependent on grass growth in the spring.
