Abstract

Weaning calves on grass is a management technique for reducing calf stress and decreasing health issues at weaning time in a beef cow/calf operation. 2006 was the third year for demonstrating this management technique at the Adams County CRP Research and Demonstration Project Farm near Corning, IA. This report highlights the 2006 grazing production data and compares it with 15 years of grazing production at that site.
