Springtime Management
Priorities
In the rush to plow, prepare
seedbeds, and plant field crops,
don’t forget why you are raising
crops. You raise crops to feed
livestock. We would be the last to
play down the importance of
proper seedbed preparation and
early seeding and timely ap-

plication of chemicals, but we
urge you to not neglect the
livestock during this busy period.
It kind of reminds me of the
father who is so busy working
overtime to make money to give
his children what he thinks they
need that he neglects to give
them the most important things -
love and attention.
How often do we see the cows
get milked a little earlier in the
morning and a little later in the
afternoon, or faster than they
should just so you can get to the
field work. Do the calves get that '
extra care you need to give
them? Do you spend as much
time with the sows who are
farrowing in the winter? Do you
watch the steers as close now as
you did earlier? Do you spend as
much time watching for cows in'
heat? Stop, and dvauate which
management practices you do
return you the most for the time
invested.
Many a good record program is
started in January only fa) fall to
pieces during spring because
time was not taken to make
entries in record books.
Here are just a few
management tips that may oe
helpful this spring:
1. With hay short in supply,
The nose is mightier than the
tastebud when it comes to dif
ferentiating tastes. While the
tongue’s tastebuds can
categorize sweet, sour, salty, and
bitter tastes and their com
binations, the nose is capable of
differentiating several thousand
different odors which affect vour
ability to taste food.

Thoughts
more dependence will be put on
use of pastures. If you plan heavy
use be sure to topdress with
nitrogen, spray to control weeds,
and rotate grazing if possible.
2. Worm heifers being turned
out to pasture. A little expense
here will bring great returns in
more rapid growth, greater feed
efficiency, and healthier heifers.
3. Don’t cut corners on weed
and insect control or fertilizer.
Don’t ask “how much will it cost
me?”-- but rather “how much
in Passing
will it return me?”
4. Finally - don’t sell your
hayfields short, especially you
, dairymen. They have the
potential to. make more dollar
return for you than corn if
managed properly. After the care
of your livestock give top priority
of time, fertilizer and chemicals
to hay.
