TIMING SPRING TURNOUT, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 52 until the grasses have three to four full leaves reduces stress on the plants and contributes to higher pasture yields all season. Managing fast spring growth to keep grasses in a vegetative state will maximize gains on pasture. Wet ground in spring is a challenge, but careful management can prevent field damage and maximize forage quality for the
WATER QUALITY, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 54 water quality intake in your animals. “They’re not going to want to drink the water if it’s bad, which will usually translate also into low feed intake, which will affect cow condition and weight gain,” explained Elford. “The minerals that are dissolved in the water will interrupt trace mineral status in the animal, so you’ll get trace mineral deficiencies, which can have effects on all sorts of things.” These feed intake and trace mineral deficiencies are of particular interest to Ministry specialists.
Under the Strategic Field Program, also funded under CAP, the specialists will be evaluating what effects sulphates have on growing animals. This includes looking at three different levels of sulphates in water given to animals over a particular period of time, then evaluating weight determines how much money will be provided to the youth member. CCYA will cover all registration fees needed for the selected event. In order to be selected the application must be submitted at least two months in advance of the departure date. To find out more on this great program check out the Canadian Charolais Youth Association’s website under programs.

CREEP FEEDING, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 56 tend to grow slower than non-creep fed calves. However, when placed on high energy finishing rations after weaning, calves in good condition that have been effectively creep-fed eat more feed and gain faster during the first month due to the familiarity to solid feed and feeding bunks. Thus, the success of a creep feeding program is dependent on managing intake, creep quality, and calf condition for every grazing season.
