Effect of feeding a protein supplement during the latter part of the grazing season to two-year-old steers on bluestem pasture.

Abstract

The nutritive value of bluestem pasture usually begins to decline rapidly after mid-summer. This test is concerned with what effect the feeding of protein supplement after mid-summer will have on cattle gains and condition. It is hoped that by starting the feeding at different times the most opportune time to start feeding may be determined.
