Howdy folks! It’s hard to believe another month has gone by.....a few weeks ago I woke up one morning and thought I had slept through two months! We woke up to a foot and a half of wet snow, no power, no water and no cell service!! Now most of us could live without power or water for a few days and it wouldn’t be that bad, but let me tell ya’, no cell service makes some people go absolutely bonkers!! I do have to say that it was difficult not knowing if the roads were open, and how our other family members were doing, it was kinda nice to be without technology for a day. We ate dinner by candlelight, played more cards than we have in years, and enjoyed each others company. We survived! We were lucky to only be without power for 48 hours, but many others were out for a few days to longer than a week! I think the most interesting part of the storm was afterwards, reading all the posts on social media. As Hydro crews worked tirelessly to restore power, the stories of how friends and neighbors rallied together to help those in need- whether it was to provide a meal and a hot shower, to lend a hand to get livestock fed or a generator to plug into for a few hours- how lucky are we to all be part of an amazing industry that comes together in a crisis. Pretty quiet on the news front, everyone is still finishing harvest and the fall to do list. Here’s hoping for a few more weeks of decent weather! Fall show and sale season is now underway and we wish all those who will be hitting the highways the best of luck in the showring and on the sale trail. We will be out and about all fall, we hope to sit down and share stories with all of our customers and friends. See y’all real soon! John and Joanne

Stretching Feed When Supplies Are Tight When cattle producers face low feed supplies, different options for wintering cows need to be considered. Lower quality forages and/or a combination of straw is usually the first option, but they do not have sufficient levels of nutrients. If they are combined with grains, by-products, protein supplements and mineral/vitamin premixes, they can meet the nutrient needs. Animals need all the basic nutrients to maintain good health, body condition, high reproductive rates and desirable weaning weights. The nutritional requirements of beef herds change as the animals move through different physical stages. The general nutritional requirements of the breeding herd are listed here: Table 1. Nutritional requirements of the breeding herd1 Class Mid Gestation Late Gestation Lactating Replacement Heifers Breeding Bulls Yearling Bulls
Total Digestible Nutrients%
Crude Protein%

Phosphorus% 0.20 0.23 0.26 0.22 0.20 0.23
1 Nutritional requirement varies with body weight, frame size, predicted average daily gain (ADG) and stage of production. Contact your local Manitoba Agriculture Office for ration formulation services. All rations must be balanced for protein, energy, vitamins and minerals.
Meeting Nutritional Needs
Feeding higher quantities of low quality forage can cause issues. The intake of lower quality roughage will be restricted by the fibrous texture of the feed. This can be a problem, particularly when beef cows increase their intake in response to cold temperatures. Rumen compaction may occur, if the livestock is only fed straw and no readily available energy and/or protein supply for the rumen microbes. During cold periods, the energy component of the ration needs to increase by about 15 to 20 per cent, as the temperature goes to minus 20 degrees Celsius or lower. In the last trimester of pregnancy, the cows’ nutrient needs also rise significantly. It is important to provide higher quality feed, in either the form of good quality alfalfa hay or more protein and energy supplements.
Using Supplements
Adding additional protein and/or energy to feed is an option to increase intake and digestibility of poor quality feeds. In selecting the most economical option, a cost per pound of crude protein or TDN should be calculated to make direct comparisons. Visit Feedplan for assistance with the calculations. When you are sourcing cheaper feed grains, be aware of weed seeds and/or toxins such as ergot. Another option is to use ammoniated straw, which will cost about $15-20 per 1000 pound bale to do so. This can increase protein to seven or eight per cent and also improve digestibility and intake. Liquid molasses can also be used to improve the palatability of straw at a cost of $16 per 455 kilogram bale (1,000 pound bale). If it is distributed evenly throughout the bale, adding molasses may increase protein by 1.6 per cent on a 455 kilogram (1,000 pound) straw bale, from five to 6.6 per cent. It can increase the energy from 49 to 51.3 per cent. Other options for supplementing feed include, corn cracks, pea flour and oat hulls. These will all work in beef cow rations, but they need to be formulated correctly. Contact your local Manitoba Agriculture Office for help with this and ensure nutritional needs are being met. continued on page 16
