Do You Have Enough Forage?
Abstract
The next time you drive or ride through your pasture checking livestock, water troughs, or fences, take the time to check your forage supply, too. Routinely checking forage supplies ensures timely decisions that would have kept Jake (Figure 1) from being “outta grass, outta water, and outta money.� If Jake had monitored his forage supply and compared it with the grazing requirements for his livestock, he could have acted sooner. To limit the impact of a forage crisis situation, the rancher must recognize forage shortfalls and make timely decisions.
