I've always heard that fescue will dominate bermuda when the low temps get in the 50's. Is this pretty accurate?

It does not have a viable seed, but I can swear that where I fed T44 I've got bermuda growing around it. Now I cut hay from several different places so I could have got it mixed up. Can T44, a grass that does not produce viable seed, grow from a bales after it has set in a roll for 150 days...

I had about 27 acres of land that was water locked by the large amounts of rainfall that we got in Arkansas this June. I had Tifton 44 sprigged on this meadow several years ago and have been getting lots of quality hay on it. 15% protein and low 60s on TDN. Really good numbers if it's cut...

but my cows prefer crab and dallis grass to bermuda. I know that bermuda is much easier to make hay with, but I didn't know cows would completely eat crab grass to the ground when bermuda is knee high. What gives? Crab grass is higher in protein; maybe that's it.

More grass than I've ever had and I'm still behind normal on rainfall. I've got knee high bermuda and crab grass in one of my three 20 acre pastures. I guess it's not how much rain but the timely distribution of it. :D

Is the ground cover in bahia too thick to allow broadcasting & germanation of clover on it in the fall? Or does it have to be tilled or drilled...I'm thinking about putting clover out but wanted to get some feedback first. I've also sprayed 2-4-d and remedy on it this year. How much risidual...

through the breeding season? He's only getting grass & mineral, but he is just as or more fleshly after 30 days on 20 head than he was when he was introduced. I've got lots of grass, but he's still just 14 months old. Does anyone else ever experience this from a yearling bull?

Are you familiar with the Green Springs bull test? I've got a few bulls in their sale: One sale in Mo-Kan Livestock, Passiac, MO this Sunday and one in Mountain Grove on March 24th. I've got two of the top four bulls (ratioed on ADG, WDA, REA, IMF). What can I expect in MO for this sale? The...

I've got a sale coming up. What should I expect?

Tell me what you think.

I have some bulls on test & one scored 5.4 for marbling. He is, of course, redangus. What is considered good for a marbling score? What is average?

With soy bean hull pellets having about 14% protein and & 80% TDN, what would be wrong with growing bulls out on sbh & quality hay?

Why can't you just feed the concentrates in a bunk and then feed the hay free choice?

It's about 14% protein (12.2% on the low end) & 80% TDN. With good hay, can you put 3.5lbs a day on bulls with 10lbs a day soy bean hull pellets and quality hay?

From what I have read lately, the corn boom could actually help the beef industry. Since cattle have more than one stomach, they can digest a wide variety of feed stuffs...and mostly grass. Only finishing can be done with corn. On the other hand, chicken and pigs are much more dependant on...

I need some help on a bull. http://old.redangus.org/cgi-bin/extped.4ge?909001 I think he's the best cherokee canyon bull in the breed. What holes do you see other than he's a little shallow in his flank.

I consider these factors important. # of cattle per acre land can support quality of forage potential for year-round grazing What else should be factored in this equation? Where is the best cattle producing land in America?

How will the down side of this cattle market affect the price of bulls this spring?
