Estimating Forage Needs for the Beef Herd

Beef producers need to be sure that they have enough hay to supply the needs of their
animals throughout the winter. Before the winter feeding starts every producer should make an
estimate of available hay supplies and hay requirements. If feed supplies are short, then
additional feed needs to be secured immediately or animals should be culled.
