Intake of milk and range forage by nursing calves

Adequate milk production by the cow to promote fast gain by her calf the first three months is important for heavy weaning weights. Calves consume considerable range forage by three months of age, and milk consumption begins to decrease. As grass begins to mature in September, milk from the dam and range forage eaten by the calf (as a percentage of body weight) decrease to below recommended protein level, so gains decrease. Weaning calves and placing them on a higher nutrition level in late August or early September may be considered when continued fast gains are desired.

Steer gains on burned and nonburned bluestem pasture and reimplanting with Ralgro at mid-summer

Steers on a late spring burned bluestem pasture gained 1.4 lbs daily during the summer compared with 1.0 lb. by steers on a nonburned pasture. All steers were implanted with Ralgro at the start of the grazing season (May 1) and half in each pasture were reimplanted July 15. Reimplanting did not affect weight gain.

Results from one and two implants compared with yearling cattle on summer pasture

Reimplanting Ralgro in mid-July after implanting in late April did not improve daily summer gains compared to a single implant.
