Video: Extended Grazing
• Producers can lower winter feeding costs through the extended grazing of corn, swath, bale or stockpiled forage options.
• Extended grazing allows livestock to return most of the nutrients they consume directly to the landscape where they are fed.
• Feed costs maybe less (not always) but yardage/feeding costs are lower as are manure removal costs.
• Manure and feed residues contain valuable nutrients which improve crop and forage productivity and quality.
