Confinement Feeding Cow-calf Pairs in the Face of Limited Perennial Grass Options

This webinar will explore the potential of adding a confined cow operation to an integrated cattle and crop system, along with nutritional and management considerations when drought or wildfire limits or delays perennial grass growth.  

Topics will include:

• Logistics for drylotting pairs, including needed bunk space, water, fence, shade, and creep access for calves
• Ration examples and feed cost estimates based on current commodity prices
• Limit feeding versus full feeding
• Use of annual forages to complement drylot feeding
• Health considerations for cows and calves
• Breeding strategies in a drylot setting

A computer and internet connection are required to participate in the webinar. The webinar is free, but registration is required. This webinar will start at 6:30 PM MDT on Tuesday, March 17.
