Every time my friend who works in TV comes to my house with all his techno-gadgetry he makes me feel like a cave dweller in the dark ages. So when he came by the last time I made sure the TV was turned to a video cattle sale. “Pretty impressive the way we’re using the latest technology, isn’t it?” I asked. “Not bad, but I can see how you could make it a whole lot better.” ”How’s that?” I asked, realizing too late I was in for more belittlement. “It’s called embedded advertising and it’s all the rage in Hollywood.” “You want to make auctions better by having commercials?” I asked in horror. “No, no. That’s the beauty of product placement. People don’t know they’re watching an ad because the message is below the viewer’s conscious perception. For example, you might see George Clooney holding a Coke can or Betty White wearing a PETA pin. The visual stimuli are so subtle the viewers don’t even know they’re being manipulated. It’s also known as embedded advertising.” “It doesn’t work on me cause I’m not joining PETA!” “You see that windmill in the background there?” my friend said, ignoring me as he pointed to the TV. “You could put a toll free phone number on it to call for NFR tickets. Or you could have the Goodyear or Met Life blimp pass slowly by in the background.” “Next you’ll want to plaster ads on the cattle like they do in Nascar.” “Now you’re getting the idea,” said my buddy. “If that’s too hard-sell you could just shave their hair so that it would faintly say Merial or Pfizer. And see that rancher in the background on the good horse? Why not have a set of LED lights on the saddle blinking “AQHA” off and on? I’m telling you, there’s a lot of money to be made here.” Next I went to my computer and went to the Livestock Marketing Association’s website where each week they show the sales of over 50 auction markets. What do you think of that?” I proudly asked my friend. “Wow! I had no idea auction markets were so progressive. And here too I see many places for product placement,” he said as I tuned into an auction in progress. “The middle of that ring should have a logo on the floor, and see that guy in the ring? He could be wearing a shirt with “Wrangler” written on it.” “Would the shirt be free?” I asked, becoming more interested by the minute in this new form of advertising. “I can’t understand the chant of the auctioneer either,” said my friend.” He should slow it down and work the names of advertisers into his chant. Such as, 90 cents, Dodge who’ll give me 91 cents, Chevrolet, 92 cents Ford. Sold to Harris, try their new pot roast.” “Catchy. I see how that could be a whole new source of income for auctioneers. And during the dead space they could also read commercials,” I said sarcastically. Ignoring me, he said, “The front panels of the ring should have signs on them.” “But then how would the buyers see the cattle?” “Yes, I see where that might be a problem. I notice in many of these auctions they show the crowd. See that guy in the front row when he crosses his legs and exposes the bottom of his boot? That’s valuable ad space I’m sure Justin would buy.” (For more on Justin Boots see the title of this essay.) “You know,” continued my Hollywood friend, “embedded advertising cannot only be used in TV and movies, but you too could make this a new source of revenue by incorporating it into your writing.” “Heaven knows I could use the extra cash,” I said. “But if you think I’m going to prostitute myself by mentioning COKE or PEPSI just to make an extra BUCK (knives) so that I can make my next payment on my BUICK automobile , well then, you can think again mister. I’m not that DESPERATE (Housewives this Fall on ABC.)”

President’s Message By Donna Laney
N
icole from the Pinzgauer Journal called me last week about our ad and my column. When we came home from the National Show inTyler, TX, I had so many things going through my mind but when I actually sat down to write, it’s a whole other story! The South west Association did a wonderful job putting on the National Show. Thank you to The Wamsley’s and the Paul’s and their helpers for a job well done. It’s too bad that there were not more cattle in attendance. These economic times have taken a toll on our National Show the past 3 years. Not to steal a beef judges thunder but – the cattle there could have stood a lot more competition! I appreciate the willingness of the Midwest Association for graciously giving up their slot for 2011 so we can have our National Show in Maine next year. The Midwest will have the show in 2012. Representatives from the Pinzgauer Journal attended the show and meetings. They really want show results (please send them to Kathy Dombroski at the APA website and she will send them on to the Journal) and photos of shows and regional activities. That keeps all of us informed of what’s going on in your region. We appreciate all who advertise in the Journal. There’s always room for more. The more advertisers we have means more pages in the magazine. We had lots of good discussion at our meetings and you can read about it in the
minutes elsewhere in this magazine. I am asking each Board Member to come to our teleconference with a list of 3 things they would like us to accomplish this year. I would welcome your suggestions also. Just send them to me and I will bring them to our next meeting. As you will see in the Treasurer’s report, our registrations are down so far this year. We encourage everyone to register those good Pinzgauer cattle! I also want to thank all who take the time and expense to show cattle. That helps all of us as it gets our cattle out in front of the public and is the best form of advertising we can possibly do. If your region has not used the advertising money available from the association, please do so. The only thing that the APA requires is that the APA name, address, phone number and email is part of your ad. That’s pretty easy to do. I hope this holiday season is a good one for you and your family. Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! See ya’ on down the trail.
Donna
Treasurer’s Report
By Clayton Haskell
R
egistrations and transfers are slightly behind last year at this point in the new physical year. I continue to encourage you to register your calves and transfer registrations to new owners as you sell your cattle. Registrations and transfers account for a large portion of the association’s income. Please send payment with your registrations and transfers, as the APA office will not complete the work without payment. The APA office will accept credit cards. The APA is in good financial position with a positive cash flow. This is my last treasurer’s report as my term as treasurer of the APA has ended. Lisa Wamsley is the new APA treasurer.

P i nP z inzgauer g a u e r PPeeople o p l e Pinzgauer Hall Of Fame – 2010 Our 3rd annual Pinzgauer Hall of Fame winner is Georgia Duncan of Duncan Pinzgauers. Miss Georgia, as she is so fondly known could be the “poster child” for the Pinzgauer Association. I have only known her since 1991 but during that time, she has traveled worldwide promoting Pinzgauers! She has helped many of our youth attend international shows and is the first one to write a check when our Juniors need help. We offer our sincere thank you as well as our heartfelt congratulations to Miss Georgia!
RAtegistrations and Pedigrees the recent American Pinzgauer Association meeting a number of questions regarding registrations and pedigrees came up. The following information, hopefully, will answer those questions. Extended Pedigree; An extended pedigree expands the registered animals pedigree from three generations for sire and dam to be an additional two generations for the sire or dam. It may be obtained by calling the American Pinzgauer Association and providing them the registration of the animal. The extended pedigree is printed on "Plain white" paper. At this time there is no charge for an extended pedigree. Herd Prefix; Tattoo numbers are required to have "Herd prefix", "Herd number", and "Year of birth letter". Herd number is selected by the breeder and can be any combination one(1)
Horned & Polled Fullbloods and Purebreds For Sale
TA Pinzgauers
to four(4) numbers. Year of birth letter is universally set Todd Andreshak for all breeds to show year of 4177 Cardinal Lane birth. Herd Prefix is selected Edgar, WI 54426 by the breeder "FIRST (715) 352-2400 COME FIRST SERVED'. (715) 846-3713 (cell) todd.andreshak@verizon.net ie: A.B.Cole selected ABC in 2001. Then breeder A.B.Charles starts in 2002; he can pick anything he wants except ABC. If he wants something that identifies his animals similarly he must pick ABC2. If he does not select a herd prefix the Registry will select one for him.

HaveRegyou ? ional News T
he Midwest is in full gear for our fall harvesting, but that did not stop us from putting on a heck of a Pinzgauer show at World Beef Expo in West Allis, WI. September 23-26. Then, one days rest and on to Midwest Tyler, Texas for some, for the APA National Show. The Region Midwest group would like to thank the “Texas Group” for their awesome hospitality. The show was well organized, the meal and silent auction was great & the new friendships were a hoot to say the least! A huge thank you to Todd Andershack for donating a heifer to the silent auction to raise money for the 2012 National Show to be held in the Midwest. Winter is one its way.....we can almost hear the generators and cold diesel pick ups at The Badger Kickoff Classic to be held Dec 4-5 in West Allis, WI! The 2011 National Pinzgauer Show will be held in Maine! The show will be held at Fryeburg Fair on October 2, 2011. Fryeburg Fair is Maine’s largest agricultural fair. If you have never been to Maine, fall is a wonderful time Northeast to visit. Fall foliage season is usually just about at its peak Region and the colors are beautiful! The Maine coast is not far from Fryeburg. The fair website is: www.fryeburgfair.org We will have much more information in the next Journal. Watch the APA Website for updates also. Contact person for the National show is Clayton Haskell 207-892-5396 or prfpinz@nlis.net We look forward to having you in Maine!
We have just finished the 2010 National Show in Tyler Texas. The weather was nice and cool for a change. The Show was enjoyed by all that attended and the Banquet was very good. A special thank you to Lisa Wamsley for Southwest her hard work putting this event together and making Region sure everyone had what they needed. We also want to thank everyone who donated for the junior awards, they were great. There were a lot of people that learned about the Pinzgauer Breed, and quite a few commercial cattlemen interested in the breed for the crossbreeding and the quality of beef.

American Pinzgauer Association Board Meeting Minutes September 29, 2010
East Texas State Fair Tyler, Texas
Meeting called to order at 10:15 am Central Standard Time by President Donna Laney. Members in attendance: Todd Andreshak, Lisa Wamsley, Donna Laney, Jeremy West, Clayton Haskell, Jerry De Smidt, Mary Ann Meredith, Cathy Reich, and Ken Paul. Members absent: Pam Shay-Bryant, Herb Berg, Kyle Hyder Motion to accept minutes from July 2010 teleconference made by Todd Andreshak, Second by Lisa Wamsley. Motion passed. Treasurers Report – Clayton Haskell Registrations are down compared to last year but September is much better. Everyone needs to register their cattle. Motion was made to accept the treasurers report by Lisa Wamsley. Second by Jerry DeSmidt. Motion passed. Breed Promotion – Ken Paul There has been some interest from individuals mainly looking to purchase breeding stock or looking for breeders in their area. We need to boost promotion by taking advantage of APA regional advertising matching funds. It was also suggested that we expand journal distribution to agricultural colleges and semen facilities and such to promote the breed. We will find out a cost breakdown from Edje for an additional 200 magazines. Some APA advertising funds have been used. SWPA has an ad in Cattlemans magazine, Midwest participated in Farm Tec Days. Ken Paul motioned to continue providing these funds to regions for the coming budget year. Jeremy West seconded the motion. Motion carried. Grievance – no report Import/Export – no report National Show – Lisa Wamsley There are 53 head entered in the National Open Show and 12 head entered in the Junior Show. SWPA has gift baskets for silent auction to help with costs. There will also be a semen lot auctioned to benefit the scholarship fund. There will be a chuck wagon steak dinner Thursday night at the Rose Garden at a cost of $10 per person. We are planning for 40 people. Performance – Clayton Haskell Certified Pinzgauer Beef label is ready. Karen will have certificates available at a one time cost to members of $100. Certificates must be faxed to USDA with the number of the processing plant on it. Member will have to pay for individual labels. Clayton will put all of the information in the November journal.
Rules and Bylaws – Donna Laney There was discussion regarding the need to establish guidelines for herd prefixes and it was decided that this is a dead issue. Open and Junior Show Rules – Clayton Haskell said current rules state that females must be 87.5% pinzgauer and bulls must be 93.75% pinzgauer to show. There was discussion about black pinzgauers in the show ring. There was concern about difficulty in allowing a separate class. Ken Paul suggested that they display these animals but not show them. Lisa Wamsley pointed out that many other breeds have a cross bred program that are allowed to show in a separate class for example the Santa Gertrudis have Star 5, Beefmasters an E-6 and so on. Lisa Wamsley made a motion to add a 50% cross bred class that would not compete for overall grand champion. Todd Andreshak seconded the motion. Clayton Haskell felt this needed more research and discussion and suggested perhaps we should make an American Fullblood 95% pinzgauer and up and the rest would be percentage animals. Jerry DeSmidt and Mary Ann Meredith abstained from voting. 5 voted against the motion and 2 voted for the motion motion died. Donna said the new board would form a committee to address this issue. Jerry DeSmidt made a motion to amend show rule #2 to read “original registration certificate”. Lisa Wamsley seconded the motion. Motion passed. Jerry DeSmidt made a motion to change show rule #10 under the cow/calf class to separate a 3 yr old and under in one class and 4 yr old and up in another class and these would compete for cow/calf champion but would not compete in senior division drive. Then calf, junior, and senior would compete for grand champion female. Then grand champion female would compete against cow/calf champion for supreme champion. In lieu of a second, motion died. Website All agreed the website needs to be updated. Donna will get with Kathy. Youth – Lisa Wamsley There were no applications for the scholarship this year but we will promote it better now that it is on the website. Ken Paul said that it says “undergraduate” on the application. We will change that wording. Donna Laney introduced Nicole Rathbun with Edje who will be here to talk with all of us and take pictures during the show.

There was discussion about the many typos and is there any way to lower ad cost. Nicole said that if we get more ads or possibly corporate sponsors it may get cheaper. She will look into any suggestions we have for her. Nicole reminded everyone that the deadline for the next journal is November 15th. There was also discussion regarding the editorial committee comprised of Cathy Reich, Ken Paul and Kathy Dombrowski. Paul Swisher has volunteers willing to serve on this committee if necessary. Articles for the journal are sent to Edje who will forward them to the committee members for review who will in turn send them back to Edje to include in the journal. Donna Laney said there were several nominations for the Hall of Fame. She sent nomination forms to Regional Presidents. Clayton Haskell suggested putting those forms in the journal. This years Hall of Fame winner is Georgia Duncan. Donna Laney has been working with Mathias Kinberger of the International Association regarding the Northwest hosting the International in 2011. Tentative dates are Aug. 28 – Sept 6, 2011. Donna encouraged all to attend. The board received a redistricting proposal which suggested dissolving the Western region and adding California, Nevada, and Hawaii to the Northwest, and adding Arizona, Utah and Colorado to the Southwest. This proposal was tabled for further discussion at the November meeting. There were only 31 ballots received for the board election. Clayton Haskell suggested including nomination and ballots in the journal. Clayton Haskell and Donna Laney were reelected for a second term and Harriet Thoms and Russell Bryant were elected to the board. National Show 2011 Clayton Haskell wants the Northeast to host the National Show in 2011. Lisa Wamsley would like to see a centralized national show. Mary Ann Meredith motioned that the National Show be in the Northeast in 2011. Todd Andreshak seconded the motion. 6 members voted for the motion, 3 voted against motion carried. The Midwest will host the show in 2012. Jerry DeSmidt motioned to adjourn the meeting. Cathy Reich seconded the motion. Motion carried and the meeting was adjourned at 1:10 pm.

Rob Smith with Diamond T gave a report about Canada. He said there hasn’t been much growth in Canada. There hasn’t been a Pinzgauer show in Canada in 5 years. However there have been strong results in several competitions for Pinzgauer steers in overall carcass scores. There are currently 22 – 25 members in Canada with about 150 registrations per year. He also stressed the importance of youth participation. There has been a request for region realignment but that has been tabled for the new board to act on. Donna Laney thanked everyone for attending. Dennis Bryant motioned to adjourn the meeting. Jerry DeSmidt seconded and motion passed. Meeting adjourned at 2:55pm. Respectfully submitted,

The Junior Gazette
he juniors have been very busy with all the cattle events this year. In August many of the Midwest Juniors showed at the Wisconsin State Fair in Milwaukee . All the juniors had once again a great time working together at the show. August was also a time for many county fairs. September is a month of falling leaves, cool weather, and World Beef Expo. It is a great experience for juniors because they can show in open show and in junior show. There are also a lot of people there to give you advice or help that have been showing their whole life. This year World Beef Expo gave a seminar on how to handle cattle in pens. Saturday night after the open show they have a supreme drive. Our royalty did a great job escorting our grand champions into the ring. It is great fun for the royalty because they also escort in other grand champion breeds, that don’t have royalty. Friday night we had a junior meeting concerning up coming shows for 2011. We also discussed fundraisers and working the Wisconsin Cattlemen’s Steak Trailer.
A junior member took part in the World Beef Expo Sweepstakes Contest. Gloria Kesler took 6th place in Herdsmanship, 4th place in Sales talk, 2nd place in Speech, and 1st place in Photojournalism. Congratulations Gloria, you did a great job on all of your projects. Gloria took 4th over all youth that participated. Once again congratulations to all your hard work and time put into the sweepstakes. The Midwest Juniors are looking forward to the Badger kickoff in December at Milwaukee Wisconsin . Our sympathy goes to Rachel, Krista, Samantha Erickson, and family for the loss of their Grandpa - Bob Erickson. He will be truly missed by the juniors at all the shows.

Ask The Doctor Q1. I have 3 cows, ages 11, 9 and 6 years. I also have a two year old bull which may not be big enough because I don’t think any of them are pregnant. The older two calved 18 months ago and the younger one was supposed to be pregnant when I bought her but she never calved. What options do I have? A. The bull should be old enough because many yearling bulls are fertile and obtain good pregnancy rates. I would get a veterinarian to do a breeding soundness exam on your bull to see if he has good semen and testicular size. If he does then have the vet rectally examine the cows to make sure they are not pregnant. I have found that the number one cause of infertility is pregnancy so you want to make sure of this before doing anything to the cows. If two cows are pregnant and the younger one (which I think you said you saw in heat) is not pregnant then I would cull her. If none of the cows are pregnant and the bull has good semen then find a non-pregnant cow and give her a shot of prostaglandin to cause her to come into estrus and watch to see how the bull breeds. His mount should be good and fairly quick which includes a thrust I have seen bulls with broken, or abnormal, penis that go sideways and curl or go down and cannot find the vulva – so be aware of all these things. Q2. We bred a young cow (about 1150 pounds) to the Haller Fox bull. She started labor early in the night and then she stopped progressing and so I pulled the calf and got it breathing and we tubed the calf for several days because the cow could not get up. She was down for several days before she could finally stand. After several days the calf started having seizures and we had to put it down. Does Haller Fox have large calves as a rule? A. Normally Haller Fox calves are not real large but they may have to be assisted because they grow to the size of the pelvis. Many breeders liked him as they bought semen from me several times. The heifer could not get up because the calf was in the birth canal too long and caused pressure on the obturator nerve which is in the bottom of the pelvis and controls the hind legs. When you see one calving, or acting funny, you should examine them immediately, especially if they get up and down with nothing happening. The swelling of the nerve can take several days and the nursing care you gave her allowed her time to recover. If one just lets them lay out flat they can bloat and die. As far as the calf with seizures – deprived oxygen to the brain may have been a cause as these calves tend to be slow starters, however, milk into the trachea and then the lungs can cause problems as well and may also cause seizures, so I am not sure if one or both may have been involved. 14 The Pinzgauer Journal - December2010

Q3. Could you comment about parasite resistance to certain wormers and should we be using them on a regular basis? A. Yes, there is such a thing as parasite resistance to de-worming products. It is advisable for producers to switch wormers occasionally but I believe that many times rather than a resistance to a certain wormer, the real cause may be that the cattle are not wormed often enough or that the dose may be to low. Many times producers will either worm as they turn the cattle out in the spring, or after they bring them back in in the fall. This may not be enough and one should take routine fecal samples from pasture samples and have your vet check them for egg larva. If there are many parasite eggs worm on a regular basis, especially when there is heavy exposure. Also it is better to overdose a little rather than under dose as you may not get all the worm eggs. Studies show that strategic de-worming programs can provide an extra 30 to 100 pounds of gain per grazing season but that depends on using the right de-wormer, and the proper dosage, at the right time for the type of cattle you are raising. Please see my articles on external and internal parasites in cattle in the Journal in Sept. 2006 and March 2007 issues. Q4. What can you tell me about what prices I should be receiving for my Pinzgauer heifers and cows? A. This would depend on what kind of cattle you are raising, bloodlines, quality and how long you have been in the business. However, I went back over the past several years of sales in my small herd and found that out of 50 head of Pinzgauer breeding females (cows and heifers) the average was $1217/head off the farm and on 20 females that I sold for
4M GENETICS Thanks to all our semen buyers over the past 30 years. We sold 7500+ doses during that time from 50 different bulls.

slaughter at a local sales ring it was $593/head. Hope this helps but remember some breeders may get more and others less depending on the bloodlines desired and the demand for them. Polled bloodlines always sold the best for me. Q5. What do you know about sexed semen?
Figure 1 A. The first sexed semen (fig. 1) was born in the early 1990’s and in 2004 the technology became commercially available. It is most commonly used in the dairy industry because they are interested mainly in obtaining female progeny. It is reported that at least 9 out of 10 calves produced by use of sexed semen will be of the desired gender. The University of Idaho bred 37 cows in 2008 with x-sorted semen (heifer progeny expected) they obtained 67 percent pregnancy rate when they only inseminated those cows showing standing heat. That is pretty good for even regular frozen-thawed semen. The semen is only sold by commercial semen sales (ABS) and it is costly because the semen process takes more time and effort. Q6. I have a cow with the fetus in anterior presentation with both front legs back and under the calf (fig. 2). Can I get it out without calling the vet?
strains of the cow push the head back and place your hand around the knee and pull it toward you, then cup your hand over the foot and pull it out protecting the hoof from damaging the uterine wall. Once you get it out then repeat the procedure on the opposite leg and then go ahead and pull the calf. The owner was able to do so without a spinal block or calling the vet. Then place some urea boluses back into the uterus and you are done. Q7. I would like to artificially inseminate my small herd of cattle but do not know which synchronization Program is best. What would you recommend? A. After talking to a few semen distributors the method they recommended the most was the 14-day CIDR – PG method. This calls for the administration of an intra-vaginal CIDR device for 14 days. Sixteen days after the CIDR is removed all cattle receive an intramuscular injection of prostaglandin to bring them into heat. They are then inseminated 66 hours after that injection and are given an injection of GnRH at the time of insemination which is used to induce ovulation. The results after several trials involving 2656 head of cattle (mostly heifers) was 65% pregnant and that is very good for timed insemination without heat detection. The thing that is good about synchronization of cattle is that it gives you a better idea of when to watch for calving because it will occur over a shorter period of time and this will minimize the incidence and severity of calving difficulty and decrease calf loss from dystocia. Some have asked me if this would also be good to use if they are going to breed naturally with a bull. That would depend on how many bulls you were going to use as it would wear out one bull but also it is better to utilize frozen-thawed semen to improve your breeding stock and the introduction of several new bloodlines into the herd. It is very important to have a professional inseminator breed the cattle because semen must be placed just inside the cervix in the body of the uterus (fig. 3). The reason is that the semen can then migrate up both uterine horns because the animal will only ovulate on one side. If you go too far then most of the semen will go up that horn to the oviduct and the ovulating side may not receive any semen. The only other way is to deposit half the semen in each horn but that also requires a good inseminator.
Figure 2 A. Clean her up with warm water and a little dish soap around the perineum. Have someone hold the tail up over the back or pull the tongue of the cow out as far as they can whenever you try to manipulate the legs, inside the uterus. If the cow goes down then pull both back legs straight out behind her because this gives you more room in which to work. Between

Q8. Should we have our bulls semen tested every year?
Figure 4 A. It is not necessary to test bulls every year unless it is very cold in the winter and the bulls are not well protected from the elements. The same may hold for the South if they are exposed to high temperatures and humidity, then it may be wise to test. The yearling bulls testicles in figure 4 measure 33 centimeters and you can see a scab which reveals healing from severe frostbite to the testicles. This bull measured 37.5 centimeters as a yearling. His semen was abnormal with no motility and he had to be culled. Most bulls, however, seem to breed ok from year to year if the temperatures are moderate and they have protection from the elements. Q9. Wasn’t there some research done about the tenderness of meat from Pinzgauer cattle? A. There was and it centered on the fact that Pinzgauer beef actually has less calpastatin than some other breeds of cattle and therefore have more tender meat. Research from the USDA Meat Animal Research Laboratory at Clay Center, Nebraska utilizing 1599 steers of 9 major cattle breeds, which included 119 Pinzgauer steers, showed that Pinzgauer and Angus steers had the most tender meat of all breeds. Charolais, Braunvieh, Hereford and composite breeds were intermediate in tenderness and the Gelbvieh, Limousin and Simmental breeds were the least tender breeds tested (Journal of Animal Science 72:1174-1183, 1994). Previous studies showed that Brahma cattle were less tender than most of the British and exotic beef breeds (Journal of Animal Science 67:857-863, 1994). In most places in the United States, Pinzgauers are penalized in the market place by 5-15 cents per pound because buyers claim they have to much white on their bodies and favor the black Angus instead. The above research has shown that both are equal in flavor and meat tenderness. I would also add that it has been shown that a high percentage of Angus cattle die from pulmonary emphysema when grazed at altitudes higher than 6000 feet in the Western United States whereas Pinzgauer cattle are immune to high altitude disease.

Q10. I have a chance to buy some alfalfa hay at a price which is comparable to top quality grass hay. What should I do? A. Alfalfa is usually a better feed if it is not too stemmy and is good quality. It has a higher protein content than grass hay but their energy content is very comparable. Do not feed dairy quality alfalfa (protein 20+) as it has a tendency to bloat beef cattle. First-cutting alfalfa is best as it is not as leafy and high of protein. Young calves may do well on it unless you are feeding grain also then I would go with a supplement of grass hay or grass + alfalfa to prevent bloat. Good grass hay should be harvested while still green and growing, or shortly after it heads out. Remember that cattle need energy to do well and have high conception rates. They do not need much grain and besides it is expensive. To correct an energy deficiency you can do so by feeding higher quality protein feed such as alfalfa which may be less costly than most grains. Protein allows the microbe population in the rumen to increase and thrive, enabling the cow to digest more fiber. She can then eat more total roughage and turn it into energy more efficiently.
