Different methods of managing bluestem pastures
This experiment was to determine the effect of increased early summer stocking and burning on cattle performance,
productivity of pastures and range condition as
determined by plant population changes.
Early stocking at twice the normal rate for the first
half the growing season was tried hoping for more gain
per acre and cattle ready for dry lot finishing at midsummer.
If grass recovers the last half of the season,
it could be “mined” the first half when highest in
nutritive value
