Cows are grassfed most of the time it's cheaper to put them in a pasture than it is to feed them corn and grain. Farmers will use other feed if they don't have a choice.
We had a drought last year and I saw truckloads of hay being moved for cattle, and I know some farmers had to downsize their herds due to the drought and them not having hay to feed them. It also can depend on the protein content of the grass if it is providing them enough nutrition otherwise farmers will have to supplemental feed too. Grass fed sounds perfect and great and all, but it's not always ideal depending on the land for that season.
At least that's how it is here in North Dakota. I don't know how it is in other states.
In many southern states the cattle are grass-fed until close to slaughter then they grain feed them to fatten them up for the extra weight.
Yeah its common practice wheat also provides protein. It technically is a grass lol, and is better than corn.
Hay fields are usually alfalfa.farmers also do cut the grass in ditches here once the waterfowl are done nesting for the season.
I talk to a lot of farmers at work. The drought here last year was really bad now we had a giant spring blizzard just when they are calving. .14 inches in my area and we are on the lower end. Another eight inches this weekend.
This has been a punishing winter extreme cold now snowmageddon.
Sorry to hear this. I hope the forecast is wrong and it isn't too bad the rest of the weekend.
Than you. I worked the day it hit thanking have four wheel drive truck. Our store was closed down by district manager the next day but because it was company decision we got paid for it.
Not many are so lucky. I'm a snow shoveling madwoman and this storm outdid me lol.
They've been comparing this to the big blizzards of 66 and 97.
