UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.
- Pennsylvania has about
1,729,000 acres of hill
pastures that, unsuited for
other purposes, can produce
sufficient forage to support
beef cow and calf operations
and to finish steers for
slaughter, a crop scientist at
Penn State University
declared recently.
Dr. John B. Washko,
agronomist at Penn State,
addressed some 250 scien
tists taking part m the first
International Hill Land
Symposium held in early
October at West Virginia
State University.
Under crossbred dairy
beef cow and calf grazing,
central Pennsylvania hill
pastures produced from 2.9
to 3.2 tons per acre of dry
matter and furnished from
114 to 149 days of grazing per
animal unit per acre.
The crossbred Holstein-
Angus calves gained an
average of 193 pounds per
acre per year over a three
year grazing period. The
cows gained an average of 60
pounds per acre on the same
land.
In experiments over a four
year period, Hereford steer
weight gains averaged from
305 to 363 pounds per acre
over a grazing season of 176
to 209 days. Cattle weight
gains on nitrogen-fertilized
grass and legume-grass
mixtures, while slightly
favoring the legume
grasses, did not differ
greatly.
In the steer grazing ex
periments, beef production
per acre was compared with
yearling Hereford steers
grazing nitrogen-fertilized
grass alone, and legume
grass with and without grain
supplementation. Grain
supplementation included

“Tall grasses such as
orchardgrass and birdsfoot
trefoil - in mixtures with
orchardgrass. smooth
faromegrass, or Reed
canarygrass - produced
more pasture than Kentucky
bluegrass,” Washko said.
“Nitrogen-fertilized or
chardgrass furnished 29
more grazing days per acre
than Kentucky bluegrass,”
he added, “while birdsfoot
trefoil furnished 36 more
grazing days per acre in
mixtures with orchardgrass,
smooth bromegrass, and
Reed canarygrass.”
Washko and associates
found that the “carrying
capacity” of hilly land
pastures used for crossbred
beef cattle herds of cows and
calves varied with level of
management. Under a high
fertility level and intensive
management, hill pastures
furnished 203 cow days of
grazing. A medium level of
fertilization and
management provided 167
cow days of grazing per
season. When hill pastures
were grazed without being
limed, fertilized, or clipped,
they furnished only 87 days
of grazing.
During the winter, the cow
and calf herds were allowed
to “pick” on pasture forage
left over from summer and
were fed primarily hay in
large round bales. A high
level of summer fertilization
and management again
proved superior - providing
213 feeding days per acre
compared with 115 feeding
days at the lowest level of
pasture management.
