The Manitoba Forage and Grassland Association (MFGA) is reminding cattle producers to make sure their animals have enough to eat as we head into the winter months.
Extension Support Person John McGregor says as pastures become depleted, it will be important to add supplemental nutrition.
McGregor notes the recent warm weather hasn't had a big effect how producers run their operation.
"What is has allowed is that there's not a lot of snow out there, so the cattle can go out and eat whatever forages that are left out there," he explained. "Once we get temperatures in that five to ten degree Celsius range, what we're seeing is the grass growth, whether it's a cool or warm season grass, has slowed down considerably, so we're not seeing a lot of new growth that the cattle can actually take advantage of."
