Livestock Management - Questions to Ask Yourself

• Are my animals losing weight or not performing adequately?
• What is the body condition score of my cows?
• Will I have to start to provide supplements?
• If the lack of forage continues, should I cull the least productive or “at risk” animals?
• What feeds are available to the ranch?
• Assuming that I will have to purchase supplemental feeds, are they available, and at what cost?
• Is one option to sell hay and buy back grain for limit feeding?
• Do I have the feed resources to allow for full feeding vs. supplementary feeding only vs. limit feeding of grain?
