Cattle Club: Winter Grazing Corn

🌽 CORN FOR CATTLE? LET’S TAKE A LOOK! 🐄

Could standing corn be a practical option for winter grazing?

Join NPARA on January 13th for an afternoon with Dr. Bart Lardner from the University of Saskatchewan to take a closer look at grazing corn in the winter and what it could mean for your cattle operation.

Dr. Lardner is a Professor in the Department of Animal and Poultry Science at the University of Saskatchewan and the Ministry of Agriculture Strategic Research Program Chair in Cow-Calf and Forage Systems. His work focuses on beef cattle nutrition, forage and pasture management, cow-calf systems, and summer and winter grazing — including research into using standing corn to extend the grazing season and potentially reduce winter feeding costs.

🌽 Discussion topics will include:

Using standing corn as a winter grazing option
What makes a corn variety suitable for grazing
Managing cattle on standing corn
Extending the grazing season and reducing winter feeding costs
Nutrition considerations when grazing corn
What producers should consider before adding grazing corn to their operation
