Hay samples for beef cattle producers in balancing rations
Author: Danny Adams
Planning Unit: Wayne County CES
Major Program: KSU Small Farm Program
Outcome: Long-Term Outcome
Twenty hay samples were taken for twenty beef cattle farmers to help them understand the nutritional needs of their cattle.
Dr. Jeff Lehmkuhler of UK did an analysis of balancing rations with the hay you produced for sixty farmers at the Wayne County Extension Office.
Beef cattle producers are using the information to keep their herds healthy with the results. These results keep beef cattle farmers from losing cattle with poor nutrition and help provide growth and gains with their herds.
