Dear Ohio BEEF Cattle letter subscribers,
Six new articles have been posted in this week’s issue number 1183 of the Ohio BEEF Cattle letter: http://u.osu.edu/beef/
Due to the weather we experienced last spring and early summer, today, Ohio farmers likely have more acres of cereal rye planted for cover than at any time in previous history. This week Jason Hartschuh and I offer suggestions on successfully making that ‘crop’ into either bedding or feed this spring. And then, Francis Fluharty shares why reducing the particle size of that, and other forages increases digestibility.
Articles this week include:
- Grass Cover Crops; Bargain Feed or Bedding?
- Why Does Particle Size Impact the Digestibility of Forages?
- Emergency Preparation Considerations for Beef Operations
- Kentucky Beef Cattle Market Update
- Weekly Livestock Comments for March 13, 2020
- Impact of Reported Coronavirus Cases on Live Cattle Futures: Implications for Future Feedlot Placements and Risk Management
