Session One Breakouts

Maximizing Beef Cow Efficiency with Variable Forages

Sponsored by Lallemand

Dr. Melissa Jolly-Breithaupt, Lallemand Ruminant Technical Services

Beef cows are often tasked with “upcycling” low to mid-quality forages while maintaining body condition, breeding back readily, and yielding the heaviest calves possible. Is it possible to achieve more in these situations and grow heavier calves without providing higher-quality forage? Dr. Melissa Jolly- Breithaupt will discuss the fundamentals of delivering quality cow nutrition and navigating the challenges of variable quality forages to wean heavier calves and prepare cows for their next gestation.
