Outstanding conversation and discussions with Dr. Peter Dotray and agents regarding the current weed situation and potential issues following rains. This conversation is very timely and important as we anticipate weed breaks earlier than normal due to abundance of rains in the area and potential of early breakdown of pre and at plant applications. I always enjoy the discussions with agents as they visit about the current landscape they are seeing in their counties. We are extremely fortunate to have the expertise of Dr. Dotray and others to analyze and discuss whats needed now and going forward in dealing with these issues.

Ionophores have been around and research has indicated they are an effective tool for economical and efficient growth in growing cattle. Dr. Jason Smith covers some of those results but also dives into the impact ionophores can have on cattle on forage. Interesting information on how these products can be used to decrease intake and maintain body condition. Think of the possiblities for some to extend forage (grass or hay) or to increase stocking rates. Great information and discussion regarding these findings.
