This time of year, when the sun is bearing down and our perennial pastures begin to show signs of fatigue, more and more cattle producers are looking for ways to maintain both forage quality and ...

“Summer annuals are a good way to add diversity and build pasture stands for the upcoming grazing season,” says Patrick Davis, University of Missouri Extension livestock field specialist.

Unlike sudangrass, sorghum-sudangrass and forage sorghum, pearl millet doesn't accumulate prussic acid, which means that cattle wouldn't have to be temporarily removed because of an early frost.

Unlike sudangrass, sorghum-sudangrass and forage sorghum, pearl millet doesn’t accumulate prussic acid, which means that cattle wouldn’t have to be temporarily removed because of an early frost.

Forage yields of these millets are considerably lower than that of pearl millet and are not usually recommended for livestock forage plantings.

Unlike sudangrass, sorghum-sudangrass and forage sorghum, pearl millet doesn't accumulate prussic acid, which means cattle wouldn't have to be temporarily removed because of an early frost.

When some forages are frosted, the potential for bloat, toxicity, and nitrates may increase for grazing cattle.

As this summer has shown, forage production from cool-season pasture and hay fields across the state can be dramatically affected by drought. Pastures that consist of cool-season grasses like tall ...

Winter feeding and care always have been a critical aspect of cattle production in the northern Plains. Meeting the most basic needs of the stock - adequate feed for efficient production and well ...

Cattle are what they eat. The forage -- grasses and other plants ­-- beef cattle eat affects the nutrition and tastiness of the meat. Clemson University animal science researchers report that ...

In a new study published in Crop Science, researchers from Texas Tech University investigated the potential of forage sorghum and pearl millet as alternatives to corn for forage production. The 2 ...
