Feeding two levels of alfalfa hay to heifer calves on winter bluestem pasture and a three-year summary

Smith, E.F.; Koch, B.A.; Good, D.L.; Boren, Fred W.
This experiment was designed to collect data in regard to the optimum

level of alfalfa hay feeding for calves wintered on bluestem pasture. One

group of heifers was fed twice as much alfalfa hay as another, but the

supplemental total digestible nutrient intake was maintained at about

the same level by feeding grain to heifers on the lower level of alfalfa hay.

Two previous tests are reported in Circulars 349 and 358.
