Minerals in esophageal samples from steers on native bluestem pastures

This report summarizes monthly mineral contents of burned and control

native bluestem pastures determined with samples from fisulated steers.

Burning decreases calcium (Ca), potassium (K), and iron (Fe), and slightly

decreases zinc (Zn). All minerals we studied were adequate for grazing

cattle except that magnesium (Mg) and Potassium (K) appear to be borderline

during winter months.
