COLLEGE STATION — A workshop on making processed meat products is scheduled for April 25-26 on the campus of Texas A&M University in College Station. Hosted by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service and the department of animal science, the Aggie Processed Meat School will engage participants in the important aspects of meat processing from raw material and ingredients through the manufacturing procedures and the finished product, according to organizers. The school is being held in partnership with the Southwest Meat Association, North American Meat Association and Texas Association of Meat Processors. “This workshop is designed for those directly involved in processed meat production as well as those who work in quality control, business manage-
ment, public relations and marketing who could benefit from an overview of how processed meat products are made and the how’s and why’s of the process,” said Dan Hale, A&M AgriLife Extension meat specialist. Topics include choosing the meat products and other ingredients in the processed meat item, the art of making sausage, the production of whole-muscle processed meat items and how to evaluate the finished product for quality and safety. Participants also will be led through a
product evaluation, similar to when products are evaluated during competitions. Registration is $350 and closes on April 19. Attendance is limited to 60 people so attendees are encouraged to register soon, Hale said. To register online, go to agriliferesigster and enter “meat” into the keyword search. For more information, contact Hale at dhale@tamu.edu, call 979-845-2053 or go to meatsense.tamu.edu/aggie-processed-meat-school/.

Almost as JESSE WRIGHT impressive — there are few things as impressive as a flame-thrower — was the cattle sprinting across the pasture as soon as the burner was fired up. Although the method is neat, the reason for it is not. Cattle producers across the state are having to find ways to feed and water their cattle while waiting

Haylage can be a good option for cattle forage By RoBeRt FeaRs Special to The Post
It is difficult for cow-calf operations to be profitable if they don’t design their animal nutritional programs around home-grown forage. The most economical source of forage is standing, good quality grass and legumes in a pasture. If it is necessary to feed harvested forage during the winter or drought stricken summers, haylage offers another option. Haylage is defined by Michelle Shooter of North Carolina Cooperative Extension as round bale silage. It is simply forage baled at 50 to 60 percent moisture rather than at the 18 to 20 percent moisture content of hay. Because of high moisture content of haylage and its storage in an air-tight environment, the forage ferments and is preserved by acid produced during fermentation. The airtight environment is provided

News by wrapping haylage bales in plastic. About 18 states, including Texas, use haylage as a method of storing forage. In Texas, haylage is more commonly harvested in the eastern portion of the state. Haylage has become popular in countries with high humidity, especially England. It also provides a forage harvest option for countries with short growing seasons. For this reason, the
concept is used in Canadian forage management systems.

bales, it is best to place bales two high on their flat ends where there is more plastic. An alter native to using stretch film is the manual placement of bales into individual bags. Round bales can be bagged while elevated on a hay spear. The open end of the bag is sealed with tape after the bale is placed on the storage surface and the spear is removed. Use a sealing tape especially designed for haylage plastic wrap. If dealing with a large number of bales, the bagging will work best with three people.
Best results are expected when sound bales — bales that will not “squat” — are wrapped as tightly as possible. It is recommended by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food that bales be wrapped with at least four layers of film for mid-summer to early fall storage and at least six layers of film for late spring to early summer storage. When handling individually wrapped bales, a grapple loader attachment is ideal. The use of a hay spear will break the seal and spoil the bale if it is not immediately fed.

“Haylage is beneficial if it fits the operation’s management system and provides an economical source of feed,” says Vanessa Corriher Olson, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service forage specialist at Overton. “In the Texarkana area, annual ryegrass is planted as a cool season forage crop with intentions of using it for grazing.
ne with standard haymaking equipment,” Olson said. “The only piece of equipment that would have to be purchased by a hay producer is a tubing or wrapping machine if individual bags are not used. “Often, co-op members or a group of neighbors share the cost of one of these machines. In some areas, farm equipment outlets rent these machines to producers.” If haylage is bagged, it is wise to purchase a grapple attachment for a front-end loader to use in moving the filled bags. Round bale lifting equipment should not be used in moving
haylage because of the risk of puncturing the bags. “Before initiation of a haylage program, ensure that you have a tractor that can lift the bales,” cautions Olson. “With the added moisture, haylage bales weigh nearly twice that of a like-sized round bale of hay,” Olson said. Haylage is a good option in areas where it is hard to dry hay and the necessary equipment is available.

With good rainfall, the ryegrass can produce more forage than consumed by the producer’s cattle. Haylage becomes an option for dealing with the extra production.” Haylage is often called “hayin-a-day” because it can be cut, baled and stored without having to leave it in the field for drying. This allows more flexibility in harvest scheduling so the cut forage doesn’t get rained on in the field. To obtain the required moisture content for haylage fermentation, producers need to cut annual ryegrass between the boot stage and grain formation. At this stage of growth, there is reduced leaf shatter and dry matter loss during harvest.“Hay that is baled at the proper stage of growth (before maturity) will be higher quality than hay that is baled after it has produced seeds, and the same can be said about haylage,” Triplett said. “The quality of hay as well as haylage is very much influenced by forage growth stage at harvest.” “All operations required for harvesting haylage can be do-
Check all bags for holes immediately after bagging and then periodically afterwards. Patching with sealing tape can be effective if done with minimal delay. Haylage bags come in various sizes and thicknesses. The lighter bags are 4-mil polyethylene and have a oneyear life expectancy, while 5- and 5.5-mil bags will often provide two seasons of use if the producer is willing to patch holes before re-using. Flex tubes of polyethylene and tube filling machines have been developed to decrease the cost, labor and time required for bagging individual bales. There is also a multi-bale system that uses the same stretch film as individually wrapped bales. It is estimated that multibale systems use up to 40 percent less plastic than individual wrapping and therefore will lower cost. There are now multi-bale systems that can be used to store big square bale haylage as well as round bale. “The tubing machine consists of a wrapper and a platform,” says Brian Triplett,
county Extension agent in Bowie County. “To start the row of haylage, the operator places a plastic end cap on the roll and then starts the wrapping. The machine works the roll of haylage forward on its platform while the wrapping mechanism revolves around the bale. “These wraps overlap each other putting multiple layers of plastic wrap around each bale and pushing the bales together tightly in an effort to remove all oxygen from the growing tube in order to facilitate the silage process. A similar end cap is placed on the far end and wrapped in place. The wrapping process goes very quickly.”

and court costs. The Fort Worth-based producer group was founded 136 years ago to fight cattle theft in Texas, a problem that still plagues ranchers today. Though the association’s rangers are commissioned by the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, they are not funded with taxpayer dollars. TSCRA membership dues, paid for by ranchers and landowners, provide the rangers with funds for salaries, equipment and training. The rangers are aided by TSC“Becoming a TSCRA member and displaying the blue gate sign on your property where it can be seen from the road is one of the best deterrents to theft,” Gray said.

The total market value of all recovered livestock and property reached $4,474,479.

A prickly subject
South Texas ranchers turn to cactus to feed cattle By Rod Santa ana Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service
R
IO GRANDE CITY — The unrelenting drought is taking its toll on South Texas cattle ranchers who are resorting to a centuries-old emergency method of feeding cattle, according to a Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service agent. “Ranchers down here commonly refer to it as ‘chamuscando,’ the Spanish word for the process of burning off spines from prickly pear cactus so cattle can eat the pods for food and water,” said Omar Montemayor, an AgriLife Extension agent in Starr County. “For many of our aging ranchers, chamuscando (pronounced chah-moos-KAHN-doh) and hauling hay and water to their livestock are last-ditch efforts to stay in the cattle business.” Burning cactus is a practice that dates back to the mid-1700s, when Spanish settlers moved here from Mexico City and raised cattle for sustenance along both sides of the Rio Grande, Montemayor said. The pioneers burned cactus over mesquite fires, which eventually gave way to kerosene burners until the 1950s, when ranchers switched to butane, then propane. “In times of drought, when pastures have no grass or hay for cattle to feed on, ranchers use a propane-fueled torch to burn the needles off nopal, or cactus. The pads or stems of the plant contain moisture and fiber, but very little protein. Ranchers supplement their cattle’s diets with protein pellets called range cubes.” Chamuscando and hauling supplemental feed, hay and water to cattle are costly measures, Montemayor said, but for many South Texas ranchers, time may be too short to sell their herds now and rebuild if and when the drought breaks. “Many of our ranchers are in their late 60s and 70s,” he said. “If they sell their cattle and the drought ends next year, they’ll have to buy young cattle back. If a rancher pays $2,400 for a ‘pair,’ a cow and a young calf, he or she will have to wait four to five years to sell four or five calves just to recoup the investment. “For a lot of ranchers, that’s time they think they may not have, so they’re doing everything they can to keep their cattle

ment gets more use which means added repairs and maintenance; the list just goes on and on.” Ranchers have also been buying hay, available nearby in the lower counties of the Rio Grande Valley where fields have been irrigated. But that won’t last long either, he said. “A round bale of hay is going for about $100, but as water districts start cutting back on the irrigation water that hay growers have had, hay will become more scarce and more expensive.” Montemayor said a South Texas way of life going back more than 250 years is very much at risk. “Our ranchers are not youngsters,” he said. “The expense and effort they have to put in is taking a terrible toll. With little or no rain since Hurricane Alex in 2010, and none in the forecast, we could be looking at the end of an era here. Ranchers, like farmers, are very optimistic, but how long can they hold out?”

alive now. “But it’s hard work and very expensive,” Montemayor said. Once cattle start eating burned cactus, a rancher has to have a plentiful supply on hand. “When ranchers burn cactus, they have to burn at least a two-day supply because cattle used to eating cactus will eat it with spines and all if the burned cactus runs out. That results in mouth injuries, they stop eating and now a rancher has a whole new set of problems,” Montemayor said. At an average cost of $3.50 per gallon of propane, a rancher with 30 head of cattle will spend about $35 per day just on the fuel to burn cactus, Montemayor said. “Hopefully, a rancher has plenty of cactus on his ranch land. Then there’s the cost of the protein supplement. Some set out molasses tubs which help with the livestock’s hydration and digestive process.”
Thirsty cattle require lots of water, a commodity long since gone from many South Texas ranches. “For ranchers without windmills or wells, there’s the cost of hauling water to these ranches where ponds have long ago dried up. Some of these ranchers have been hauling water to their ranches for two or three years. A lactating cow consumes about 20 gallons of water per day, so with 30 head, you’re talking about a lot of water daily. ” Ranchers use all sorts of make-shift and customized tanks and trailers to haul untreated Rio Grande water from municipal water treatment plants to their ranches behind pickup trucks burning $4 per gallon diesel fuel. Cost of the water is relatively cheap, at about $10 for 500 gallons, but the trips are almost non-stop, Montemayor said. “Once a drought starts drying up the natural resources of a ranch, expenses and efforts increase tremendously.

Heart Association adds three cuts to Heart-Check list recognize lean meat as a nutritious food and a single serving of lean meat can be part of a healthy diet and lifestyle. “Independent research and this certification from the American Heart Association confirms to consumers that extra-lean beef can be a building block in an overall hearthealthy diet,” said Cheryl Hendricks, a registered dietitian with the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, contractor for the Beef Checkoff Program.
Special to The Post
The Beef Checkoff Program announced today that three additional fresh beef cuts now are certified to display the American Heart Association’s Heart-Check mark. With that, retailers have the opportunity to market a total of six different extra-lean beef items to shoppers using one of the most trusted nutrition icons on food packaging today. The extra-lean beef cuts that meet the American Heart Association’s criteria for hearthealthy foods as part of an overall healthy dietary pattern, and are certified to display the Heart-Check mark include the following USDA Select grade cuts: • Sirloin Tip Steak. • Bottom Round Steak. • Top Sirloin Stir-Fry • Boneless Top Sirloin Petite Roast. • Top Sirloin Filet. • Top Sirloin Kabob. “Having the American Heart Association certify three additional extra-lean beef cuts is yet another important milestone in the beef checkoff’s efforts to help consumers understand the positive health and nutritional benefits of beef,” said Jeanne Harland, beef producer from Illinois and chairman of the checkoff’s Nutrition and Health Subcommittee. “Using strong science-based guidelines and

fied beef items in the meat case and retailers can work with the Beef Checkoff Program to participate in the American Heart Association Food Certification Program to receive significant cost savings. Integrated promotional tools are available to help retailers merchandise the certified cuts where it matters most – the point of purchase. Resources such as on-pack labels, posters and recipes help make healthier choices with extra-lean beef cuts in the meat case and, ultimately, generate fresh beef sales. In fact, nearly 75 percent of shoppers say the Heart-Check mark improves the likelihood that they’ll buy a product and boosts incremental sales an average of 5 percent when point-of-sale materials are used to promote certified products. Supermarket chain K-VA-T Food Stores in Kentucky, Virginia and Tennessee signed up to participate in the program in 2011 and offers American Heart Association-certified beef products in 94 of its stores. “We’re extremely pleased with the re-
sults we’ve seen through the American Heart Association certification program,” said Steve Holloway, director of Meat and Seafood Operations for KVA-T Food Stores Inc. “The onpack labels and merchandising support from the Beef Checkoff have proved valuable in educating our shoppers that they can still eat extra-lean beef as part of a healthy lifestyle. It’s been an opportunity to bring consumers back to the category and, as a result, we’ve seen our extra-lean beef sales soar.” For more information about your beef checkoff investment, visit MyBeefCheckoff.com. The American Heart Association established the HeartCheck mark in 1995 to give consumers an easy, reliable system for identifying heart-healthy foods as a first step in building a sensible eating plan. More than 900 products that bear the Heart-Check mark have been screened and verified by the association to meet criteria for heart-healthy foods as part of an overall healthy dietary pattern.

The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History is unveiling a new website where the public can upload stories about technologies and innovation that have changed their work lives in agriculture, including stories about precision farming, food-borne illness tracking, environmental concerns, government practices, irrigation, biotechnology and hybrid seeds. This spring, the museum is launching the Agricultural Innovation and Heritage Archive, reaching out to farmers, ranchers and American agribusiness to preserve America’s agricultural heritage and build a collection that reflects modern agricultural practices. Curators are seeking stories, photographs and ephemera to record and preserve the innovations and experiences of farming and ranching. For details and to participate, the public
