Western OK | Good weather, no mud, with good pasture, and good cattle, we've had them gain 3lbs a day, but it's usually around 2 once they get used to it. Best if you can get good green 4wts and run them till March, then get another set and finish grazing it out.
When wheat and fertilizer were cheap, it was standard operating procedure here to plow down 100lbs of nh3 in the fall and graze every acre until March, then cut wheat for grain. When fertilizer got high a decade or so ago and we were in a multi year drought, the .35-.45 a lb gain wasn't working, barely paying for the nitrogen removed, so we backed off to just grazing our own. Then we started experimenting with other crops in rotation to focus more on raising better wheat for grain instead of continuous dual purpose wheat. | |
