Many
factors have led to a limited expensive forage supply for cattle producers to
carry their cattle through the winter. Supplementation
strategies may be expensive, so efficient use of hay and supplements to meet
cattle nutrient needs is important to profitability of a cattle operation. Pastures have really been stressed the last
two years and it is likely that renovation may be taking place in the future to
build a better forage base for cattle in the coming years. There may be
management strategies that can be implemented this winter to begin renovation
or build back the forage base that has been lost the last two years. MU Extension
wants to provide two educational sessions to cattle producers and farmers to
help them to manage their cattle and pastures through the winter months to be
successful in the coming years. MU Extension Field Specialists Patrick Davis
and Hunter Lovewell will hold meetings to address these topics: November 28
6:00 p. m. at Centennial Hall at the Vernon County Fairgrounds, Nevada, MO and November
30 6:00 p. m. at Stockton High School Ag Classroom. There will be a meal at each of these
meetings, paid for by donations from FCS Financial and Mid-MO Bank. The same information will be covered at each
of the meetings, so sign up for the one that best fits your schedule. Sign up
for the meeting online at https://tinyurl.com/ycxhze3u. Also, you can sign up for the Nevada meeting
at the Vernon County MU Extension Center at (417) 448-2560 or the Stockton
meeting at the Cedar County MU Extension Center at (417) 276-3313. To attend and to get a proper head count for
these free meetings register by November 24.
