Our goal is to assemble a premier herd of cattle. We'll market the females to other Angus breeders and the males to commercial producers.
The conversion was relatively easy to plan and accomplish.
As the fall grass nears depletion, we add free-choice corn silage that's mixed with lower-quality hay. The cows consume over 30 lbs of corn silage/head/day.
The soils in this area are sandy, so it's difficult for them to hold nutrients in place for an extended period. We've learned that applying smaller amounts of fertilizer at more frequent intervals is what works best.
