Following half-season intensive grazing on native pasture with alfalfa or sudangrass grazing and/or feedlot finishing

Abstract

Late summer grazing of alfalfa or sudangrass by cattle coming off half-season, double-stocked native grazing showed no advantage over immediate feedlot finishing. Late-summer grazers gained less in the feedlot and required about the same feeding period as those animals taken to the feedlots in midsummer.
