🌾 Early spring drought got your pastures looking thin? 📉
With the dry spring we’ve had here in south central Kentucky, forage stands are thin, and grass is hard to come by. Letting calves rely on pasture alone right now means leaving heavy weight—and serious money—on the table in today’s strong cattle market.
Creep feeding is the safety net your herd needs this season:
Pounds Equal Paychecks: When cattle prices are high, every extra pound of calf gain multiplies your profit at the auction barn.
Stretch Your Forage: Creep feed replaces a portion of their forage intake, stretching your thin grass and giving pastures a chance to recover.
Save the Cows: It stops calves from pulling too hard on your cows, protecting their body condition so they breed back on time.
Don't let short grass shrink your spring calf crop's potential. 📈
