Consider Grazing Wheat and Delaying Turnout on Drought-Stressed Pastures

Early spring calving cow-calf pairs will benefit from high-quality wheat pasture grazing, as it sets them up to gain weight right prior to and through the first part of the breeding season. For later spring calving herds, calving cows on wheat pasture will provide excellent quality green feed that may not be available from pastures this year due to drought.
