Summary in English
This Fact sheet shares the latest science on cattle-feeding approaches based on an article in Cool Forages Advanced management of temperate forages. Forages are an important feed source for beef cattle and other livestock. Stockpiled forage is summer forage regrowth which is saved for use as fall and winter pasture. Stockpiled forages may replace part or all of the hay, straw or silage needed to winter cows, and so can be an important part of a cattle producers production system.
