When cool-season pastures slow down in the heat of summer, it can put pressure on pasture and cattle performance. This field day is all about helping producers get more out of summer grazing. Join Nebraska Extension for a hands-on event focused on strategies to beat the summer slump using warm-season annuals and virtual fencing.
The event will be held at the Eastern Nebraska Research, Extension and Education Center (ENREEC) near Mead, NE.
What You’ll See and Learn
Sudangrass and Sudangrass–Sunnhemp Mix
Learn how different grazing strategies affect carrying capacity and cattle performance. We’ll share results from two years of grazing trials with cow/calf pairs and stocker calves—and you’ll see this year’s forage in action. We’ll focus on how to manage for maximum return and whether adding sunnhemp pays off.
