Beef and Bees
From Sam Custer
OSU Extension, Darke County
Four new articles have been posted in this week’s 983rd issue of the
Ohio BEEF Cattle letter:http://u.osu.edu/beef/
Tis the season for the higher nutritional demands of the momma cow that
come along with an aggressively nursing and growing calf this time of
year in Ohio . This week John Grimes emphasizes the need to monitor
body condition closely as breeding season is quickly approaching, or in
some cases, upon us.
Articles this week include:
The Clock Is Ticking
Bull Sales Closely Follow Market Trends
National Animal Health Monitoring System Prepares for National Study
Is Time Running Out On Potential For Stronger Cattle Prices?
