Ai4-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, January 2, 1993 Monitor Winter Stress To Increase Spring Profits KANSAS CITY, Mo. The cold temperatures and inclement weather of winter may merely be uncomfortable to you, but they can significantly slow growth progress of your cow herd. More nutrients are required to keep a cow or calf at optimum growth and maintenance levels during this time of year. Loss of gain as a result of low ered appetite and general sickness can cost a considerable amount of money. But, by closely monitor ing winter rations, forages and overall animal health, you can be better assured of a healthy herd entering the spring season.

Once you’ve estab lished what nutrition levels your herd needs, you can make a better informed decision on what feeds to purchase and precautions to take. “When beef animals are stressed, their appetite can decrease and their resistance to disease organisms goes down,” Hough said. “In addition to extreme weather fluctuations, other stress factors include wean- • independent Agents Representing 1-80i*875*19T4 Keith Moyer aiMteaiti ing, processing, shipping, and birthing.” Hough says that one of the most effective ways to keep sickness problems to a minimum is to keep cattle eating properly. This can be achieved by making sure the cattle are continually checked for illness and fed high quality, well-balanced rations, with proper nutritional supple ments led in proper amounts. Having a sufficient supply of feed on hand is critical, especially in areas where snow and ice can delay shipments for several says at a time. Plus, a supply of quality hay is essential for meeting rough- Life Group Health Home Workmen’s Comp. Marl* Grave* Potter. Tioga. McKean 114-ttt7-t547 EVERGREEN MSI TRACTOR CO..

In everyday practice, these groups don’t always need to be fed separately. If the herd isn’t large, weaned calves, bred yearlings, first-calf, and the oldest dry cows can be fed together. The ration should be formulated so weaned calves and bred yearling heifers will gain enough to ensure maxi mum growth and development. ...$8,950 .$12,500 .$4,350 .$14,500 .$3,650 .$2/450 .$1,850 .$3,650 .$2,650 .$1,850 .$4,350 .$1,500 .$2,950 .$1,550 .$2,950 .$4,450' .$7,950 $425 $650 $950 52,450 51,250 51,850 51,850 51,250 in Rd„ Lebanon, PA., (717) 272-4641 or Toll Free 1-800-441-4450 Nursing first-calf heifers and older cows will need to mend somewhat before the next calving and lacta tion period. Hough said. “If your herd has a fall calving, split calving or year-around calv ing, cows nursing calves should be handled or at least fed separately, especially if you use creep feeding,” Hough said. “You should also be aware of the animal’s body condition enter ing winter,” Hough said. “This is very important since it tells us what type of pasture or range the cows have had during (he summer and fall grazing periods and has a large effect on the rebreeding rate. “By knowing the condition of the cattle, it will help you deter mine what type of feeds and for ages your herd will need. Plus, you can better plan for feed needs and search for the best value from your suppliers,” he said. PLOWS-MOLDBOARD AND JD 7B 2500 Plow. JD 1450 6-16" Soml-Mtd.
