TURN Forage Potential Loose

Most cow/calf producers in the country are facing one or more of these scenarios:
1. Late summer and fall grazing on pastures that continue to drop in nutrient quality as plants mature;
2. Early feeding of hay forced by drought conditions, where, with spring-calving herds, the need is to feed relatively inexpensive, low-quality forage now, so better hay can be saved for late gestation and lactation;
3. Planning for maximum utilization of failed crops or crop residues.
