Feed costs are often the largest category of expense for cow-calf producers in Nebraska.
Understanding how the cow’s nutrient requirements change throughout the year and how to cost-effectively meet those requirements with the feed resources available can greatly influence an operation’s bottom line.
Topics to be covered include:
- What impacts a cow’s nutrient requirements and how do they change throughout the year?
- How do you read and understand a feed test analysis as well as a feed tag? What do the numbers mean?
- When comparing feed options, which is the best buy when all things are considered?
- What are things to consider when developing a year-round feeding plan?
The cost of the course is $50 and includes a notebook of Nebraska Extension resources. The
course is limited to 35 participants. To register, visit https://go.unl.edu/feedingthecow.
