Spring Reminders
- Soil test to determine fertilizer applications and apply fertilizer according to soil test results.
- Heat stress starts as early as May — plan for shade and cool water in every paddock.
- Reduce damage to forages and soils by moving feeding area and livestock often.
- Keep animals and equipment off extremely wet pastures — consider use of a sacrifice area or feeding area.
- Control competition from weeds and undesired forages where new seedlings are emerging.
- Inspect and prepare water systems to supply water to every paddock.
- Continue to provide cows access to a high magnesium, or high Mag, mineral to reduce risk of grass tetany, until daytime temperatures are consistently above 60.
- Start seeding warm-season forages after risk of frost to provide summer grazing.
