Cows Need Special
Attention in Winter
Overton-The current mild
winter has been a real blessing
to cow-calf produces in Texas.
“Most producers have their
cows in excellent condition
prior to calving season, but
there are many herds where
cow condition is deplorably
poor," said Dr. Randall
Grooms, livestock specialist
for the Texas Agricultural Ex-
tension Service. “Cows that
calve in a thin condition have a
notoriously poor rate of return
to estrus and conception,
regardless of the amount of
feed fed after calving.”
Cows need to be in a very
positive state of nutrition prior
to give increased
vigor to newborn calves, bring
the cow into proper milk flow
and to shorten the postpartem
interval. Grooms said this
means that cows need to be
gaining from one-half to one
pound pei day prior to calving.
Dry cows need approximate-
ly one to one and one-forth
pounds of crude protein per
head per day for maintenance.
These cows also need approx-
imately 20 pounds of dry mat-
ter which should supply about
eight pounds of TDN. Thin
cows that need to gain condi-
tion and flesh require 25 to 35
percent additional nutrients.
Additionally, cows need a
good trace mineralized salt and
a high phosphorus mineral sup-
plement.
“These requirements can be
met from quality hay aione,”
Groom says. “If this type hay
is not available, supplementa-
tion with range cubes, soybean
hulls, rice bran, cottonseed or
other feeds can aid in meeting
the nutritional requirements.”

ville, has been in Citizens
