Establishing Livestock Pastures and Hayfields
Authored by: Ray Smith Jimmy Henning Chris Teutsch Stephanie Smith
Abstract
Profitable ruminant livestock operations depend on the production of high-quality forages. High yields can only be obtained from a dense, vigorous stand of an adapted forage species. The first step in obtaining such a stand is establishment. The establishment phase of forage production is critical because the response to all other management inputs depends on having a healthy and vigorous stand. Successful forage establishment requires careful planning and attention to detail.
