VIEWPOINT

CHAROLAIS We’ve got our work cut out for us.

Projections suggest food production will need to double by 2050.

rying to outguess an erratic cattle market these days is enough to make one’s head hurt! The wild swings and volatility complicate every producer’s decision-making process. Market analysts have been predicting a downward trend due largely to the rapid cow herd expansion that began several years ago. Most analysts discuss long term markets in roughly 10 year cycles and historically that’s been fairly accurate. Major events may accelerate or slow the up or down trend line, but eventually the market cycle changes and begins to move in the opposite direction. One role and, arguably, a responsibility of a breed association, is to continue to educate members and commercial cow-calf producers and communicate potential marketing opportunities. In Texas A&M’s Surviving the Farm Economy Downturn, “Managing

impact of this reality hasn’t resonated with producers or consumers. We’re watching, in real time, the decimation of the pork industry in China due to African Swine Fever (ASF). According to recently released USDA Foreign Agricultural Service data, China may end up losing 70-80 percent of its pork production. Sadly, due to the nature of the disease, it is not being eradicated or even controlled. China and other affected Asian countries are seeking beef and poultry as alternative proteins. Largely due to this catastrophic disease outbreak in the most heavily populated geography on the planet, U.S. global exports are projected to increase substantially over the next couple of years. What does that mean for a registered Charolais seedstock supplier? It means you have an opportunity to help educate and

Multiplying cattle with the inherent ability to grow and produce more red meat protein efficiently is the number one advantage of Charolais. the Beef Cattle Herd through the Cattle Cycle”, Andrew Griffith, et.al. said, “In general, cattle producers have more control over their cost structure than over their revenue stream.” For commodity beef producers, this is a golden statement. However, valuebased marketing has changed the beef marketing paradigm and progressive producers do have more control over revenue. The beef industry has an abundance of data that documents the economic benefit of making a few basic changes to cow herd management. Better nutrition and a health management strategy is a great place to start and data indicates that stakeholders up the supply chain are willing to pay more for healthier cattle. Commercial producers targeting specific grid formulas accept nutrition and health as basic tenants and incorporate genetics, technology and industry relationships as tools to better determine revenue. Day to day market fluctuations force producers to pay attention. However, producers targeting a specific end point have inordinately more flexibility and inherent risk management. As we absorb the daily market reports, the elephant in the room is our ability to understand the global demand for meat protein and the role the United States plays in meeting the demand. By now, it’s likely we are all aware of the often quoted statistic indicating that by 2050, food production will need to double to meet the projected population growth. Other than a few thought leaders, the

communicate to your commercial cow-calf customer the value of using a registered Charolais bull. Using a registered Charolais bull is the first step in genetic improvement and documenting the potential performance of a calf crop. The majority of beef exports are not breed specific. However, the rigorous documentation and regulation of beef exports are very specific. Age- and sourceverification, verified natural, humane handling and processing are value-added programs that require an inordinate paper trail yet add significant value. The Charolais breed has wide acceptance across all industry sectors. Regardless of crossbreeding scenarios, Charolais influence is recognizable. In fact, Charolais is the only major breed that has not become black in commercial herds! Known genetic information from registered Charolais bulls further documents the predictable performance in any value-added scenario. If the future projections relative to the challenge of doubling food production in the next 30 years are correct, we’ve got our work cut out for us. Multiplying cattle with the inherent ability to grow and produce more red meat protein efficiently is the number one advantage of Charolais. Genetic information is powerful information up the supply chain.

Ways to Extend Fall and Winter Grazing By Heather Smith Thomas

xtending the grazing season can help reduce production costs, since harvested feed during winter is the most expensive aspect of raising beef cattle. In dry climates ranchers often run short on late summer and fall pasture, however, when productivity of cool season perennial grasses is diminished during summer heat. There are various ways to increase forage production/utilization to ensure adequate fall grazing or sometimes enable cattle to graze through winter. One method commonly used is to stockpile pastures, grazing them later in the season. Jerry Volesky, Range and Forage Specialist, University of Nebraska Lincoln’s West Central Research and Extension Center, says this practice works well in many situations. The other option is to utilize perennial forages that were just lightly grazed during the summer, with a lot of biomass left in the pasture for winter grazing.

SUMMER ANNUALS – “Annual forages like pearl millet or

sorghum-sudan grass hybrids can be planted in summer and utilized in late fall,” says Volesky. Some producers plant sorghum-sudan grass and cut it once for hay. Rather than cutting the regrowth for a second cutting, it can be left growing until frost. After frost, it can be grazed as fall/winter pasture. Producers also have good success with mixtures that include both warm and cool-season species. “These are often called cocktail mixes, and contain cool-season forages like oats, turnips, oil-seed radishes, and a warm-season forage like millet or sudan grass, planted in August. These mixes grow until frost and accumulate a lot of growth, with 1.5 to 2 tons per acre by the time they are grazed,” he says. “With these mixes it’s best to wait until well after a frost to graze them because with warm season annuals you can run into prussic acid problems after frost. Let them freeze down all the way, and then they can be safely grazed. Some cool season species like oats or turnips wouldn’t be completely frozen yet; a mix provides very nice grazing, with good nutrient quality,” he explains. With a mix of plants, there is always something that does well even when growing conditions vary from year to year. Twelve years ago the University of Idaho’s Nancy Cummings Research, Extension and Education Center (Salmon, Idaho) began looking at ways to extend grazing with summer annuals. “We looked at forage species that grow well in dry corners of pivot-irrigated ground, to try to increase hay yield or pasture,” says John Hall, Extension Beef Specialist. “This evolved into a project to increase forage production for fall grazing. Test plots were continued for 3 years, 2008 through 2010.” The first plots contained 5 species of warm season annuals including Sudex, Teff (an annual grass plant), German Foxtail Millet, Pearl Millet and Grazing Corn. “Later we just planted Sudex—the Sorghum-Sudan hybrid— around the first of July, to incorporate into our grazing system to provide forage in November/December for some of our cattle. The most productive year, we were able to graze 100 head for 40 days on 16 acres, which was higher than our expectations. Under irrigation, and with some fertilization, this crop did well. We used between 40 and 60 units of nitrogen per acre; you don’t want much because these plants are nitrate accumulators and you don’t want a nitrate

toxicity problem,” Hall says. “With this crop we can expect about 70 to 80 animal grazing days per acre, and we strip graze. We use a rotary mower to make swaths through it where we want to run our fence—and use a single strand of poly wire down the alley we’ve made,” says Hall. “We found that when we mow paths through the field, it thatches over the ground, protecting it from freezing so deeply when weather gets cold in the fall.” It’s easier to put tread-in posts into the ground for a hot wire. “Much of our work with the dry pivot corners is to have more forage available in the spring, to get cattle off hayfields. We’ve used cool season annual crops like rye, barley or triticale, planting in late summer/early fall to capitalize on fall and spring moisture before the ground dries out too much. We’ve had some really good years doing this, and some really poor years, depending on rainfall. On the plus side, other than seed and diesel costs, it’s a low-input operation.” For fall grazing, the research center grazes alfalfa aftermath in hayfields, swathing what would have been a third cutting. This is strip grazed, when it is freeze-dried and has less risk for bloat. “We still try to keep ionophores or bloat-guard products out there for cattle to use while they graze this. It helps, but the big thing is having the crop wilted enough. In our part of the country during a mild fall, that 3rd crop can get up fairly tall and has enough coarseness that there’s not as much probability for bloat. On other years the 3rd crop is very fine and lush,” says Hall. “Swathing it before it wilts and freezes saves the leaves. There is more nutrient quality to the feed. We strip graze it, preferably after it has frozen hard--so there will be less damage to the ground and plants with heavy hoof traffic on the alfalfa,” he says. “Grazing probably reduces the life of the stand a little, but orchardgrass comes in and makes up for it in terms of hay tonnage. Since we are not trying to sell dairy hay as a cash crop (just using our hay as beef cattle forage), this is acceptable. To us, it’s worth it to be able to utilize the final growth as fall grazing for yearling cattle and replacement heifers.” It is excellent feed for younger animals that need higher nutrient quality. Wildlife can be a big issue on what you might utilize for fall grazing. “It’s a very different situation here than farther southeast. Those producers don’t understand why we are not stockpiling forage. When we do, we are just feeding the elk. It costs more to put it into a bale, but then we can stick it behind an elk-proof fence,” says Hall. “Here in the Intermountain West, when corn prices went up more farmers began growing corn. We have short-season varieties that work, and opportunities for grazing cornstalks. An advantage to grazing over baling cornstalks is cost (cattle do the harvesting) but the challenge on many farms is providing water for cattle,” he explains. “One of the most under-utilized crop aftermath in the U.S. is cornstalks. If we bale them, however, there are baling costs, transport costs, and we have a product with a lot of indigestible fiber. Cattle eat leaves, husks and top third of the plant, leaving the coarse stalks. This works great for corn farmers because they still have some residue on the fields to meet their conservation plan. Cattle can selectively graze parts of the plant that have higher nutrient quality.”

CHAROLAIS JOURNAL

“When selecting a crop for fall grazing, we determine whether it will hold up under snow load. Some of the warm season annuals such as sorghum-Sudan hybrids like Sudex work well because it sticks up through the snow. There is no problem with the animals finding the plant. Making big windrows also helps; once they find the windrow they’ll root through the snow and find it,” he says.

STOCKPILING PERENNIAL PASTURES - Another option is to

utilize perennial forages that were lightly grazed or not grazed at all until fall or winter. “This can be done with both cool and warmseason perennial grasses,” says Volesky. “These will be mature by the time they are grazed, but when they freeze down in the fall, whatever stage of growth and maturity they were at that time (in terms of quality) is captured at that stage— similar to what it would be if it were cut for hay at that point. Over winter there will be slow deterioration of the plant; leaves fall off or blow away, so the quality will eventually decline.” Some grasses stockpile better than others. “A common practice in Missouri, Iowa and other regions where producers grow a lot of tall fescue is to graze a little in early summer, then let regrowth accumulate. Tall fescue stockpiles fairly well for later use,” says Volesky. Ryegrasses are often utilized for fall/winter grazing. Depending on the variety and on your climate, these may be annuals or perennials. “Also, the farther south you are, they keep growing longer into winter, providing high quality green forage. In Oklahoma, for instance, they stay green all winter,” he says. Even some of the grasses that don’t retain their quality/ nutrients as well during winter can be utilized with a little protein supplement, which is still cheaper than feeding hay. Letting cattle harvest their own feed is generally best. “This is a common practice in our Nebraska Sandhills, with a lot of dormant season grazing. Our killing frosts are generally in early October. By November or December producers are starting to graze winter pastures. For the first month or two, forage quality is still fairly good. But by January it’s usually a good idea to provide protein for those cows,” he says. The supplement can be provided 3 days a week or every other day—which is adequate to supply the cows’ needs—or as blocks or tubs that cattle can use free choice. Your choice of supplement may depend on where cattle are grazing and ease of access to haul it to them (as alfalfa hay, pellets/cake, tubs or blocks). “There are many options today for stockpiling forages. Each producer’s situation is different, so you might experiment with different kinds of forages to see which works best for your location and situation,” says Volesky. “In some cases you might add one more step, windrowing forage for later grazing. You can allow whatever crop you planted to grow to optimum stage of maturity in September or October, then put it in windrows for winter. This is just another form of stockpiling,” he explains. Stockpiled pasture or windrows can be utilized by turning cows out in that field, or stripgrazing with temporary electric fencing.

SOUTHERN FORAGES - Dr. Stephen Blezinger, cattle nutritionist (Sulphur Springs, Texas), says there are a variety of plant species that can be utilized for forage late in the season in the Gulf Coast states that have warm climate and lots of rain. These forages will be different from species in northern or drier climates. “This wetter area includes much of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and Florida. In Texas, if we draw a line north and south through the middle of the panhandle (through Wichita Falls and on south), differences will be applicable to everything east of that line. The west Texas climate is so much drier that plant species change and we are mainly looking at range pastures, except where wheat or other annual pastures have been planted,” he says. “Most perennial grasses used in the Gulf region for hay and

pasture will be some strain of Bermuda grass. The dominant one is still Coastal Bermuda grass, but others include common Bermuda. In recent years there’s been a move toward using more of another variety called Tifton 85, but it’s a small percentage of the total,” he says. “We also see a lot of Bahai grass and other types of perennials like rescue grass and Johnson grass. Areas that were in row crop production often go to Johnson grass. It’s a hardy grass and tillers like quack grass,” says Blezinger. It is considered a weed but it does make forage for cattle. “Some people plant various types of sudan grass or a sudansorghum hybrid--a summer annual. Generally you get one really good cutting and maybe a second cutting if you get it planted early enough, if conditions are right. It produces a lot of volume, especially some of the new varieties like the brown midrib. Digestibility is higher. Protein values are not very high, however, testing about 7 or 8%. But many people use it for hay production. If conditions are right, with enough moisture, regrowth after haying will provide fall pasture,” he says. “The problem with this particular species is that it does have a tendency to accumulate nitrates. I tell people to test it for nitrates, particularly after it has been stressed by drought or late in the season. You can get some extension of pasture into the fall with this, but you just have to be careful with it,” explains Blezinger. Extending the grazing season boils down to aggressive pasture management. “The typical farm/ranch in our region needs to crossfence their larger pastures more, and start using them in a rotational system. This would result in better grass production and pastures could handle the dry periods better. This would apply to summer perennials like Coastal, in which you could put up hay and then use the aftermath for grazing,” he says. “Many producers simply fertilize in the spring, shop costs for ammonium nitrate and buy whatever’s cheapest and put on a certain amount per acre. Not many do soil tests to see what they really need and what they might do to extend production into the fall. The main winter annuals for grazing in this part of the country include several varieties of ryegrass, wheat and oats. Some regions cattle can graze year round, if managed properly. In eastern Texas, normal rainfall may be between 35 and 45 inches of rain annually. Some people do a better job of managing pastures and coming into fall with stockpiled grass 6 or 8 inches tall. The problem we sometimes run into in late fall and early winter, if we get significant rainfall at that time, is deterioration of standing grasses, which lowers the quality,” he says. “Most of the time, on a normal year, ranchers are feeding hay to meet the cattle’s dry matter needs—unless they’ve planted winter annuals. They might plant ryegrass or oats that would keep growing and be green through winter,” says Blezinger. “On my little place, I’ve planted ryegrass and clover, but some people mix 3 or 4 varieties of plants to seed for winter grazing. These tend to germinate at a little different time and stretch out the growing and grazing season from late fall until May. By then, summer perennials are growing adequately for grazing,” he says. “By late December and into January, stockpiled pasture (that matured in the fall) has so much rain that they are deteriorating in quality. Grass is still there, and cattle can utilize it as dry matter, but nutritional value is poor. You need a protein supplement. It’s still a good idea to stockpile pasture, to have the extra dry matter available, because it can save money compared to feeding hay from November all the way through winter. The challenge is that every year is different. Over the past 15 years we haven’t had much consistency in weather. You can’t always plan how to manage cows through winter. It takes flexibility. You might have a plan, but if certain things don’t happen the way you planned, you need plan B or C.”
