Beef Cow Winter Management Meeting
SDSU Extension Beef Specialist, Cody Wright of Brookings will be the featured speaker at an evening meeting in Sioux Falls Tuesday December 22nd. Starting time will be 6:30 PM at the Minnehaha County Extension Office, 220 W. 6th Street, east of the courthouse complex.
Dr. Wright, a native of Minnehaha County will discuss the safe utilization of moldy feeds. With all the excess moisture in 2009 it has led to an abundant amount of poor quality, moldy hay. In some areas the corn crop has also been affected with moderate to high levels of molds and toxins. This all can have adverse to harmful effects on the cow herd including feed refusal and reproductive failure.
Other topics of discussion at this pre-holiday meeting will include cow mineral requirements, pre-calving nutritional considerations, body condition scoring, and management of the young cow.
This meeting is free of charge and open to anyone who is interested in beef herd management.
Questions regarding this program should be directed to Lincoln County Extension Livestock Educator Jeff Lounsbery at (605) 764-2756.
