Feed costs often exceed 25-30% of a dairy or beef farm’s expenses.  Timing, handling methods, and storage choices of harvested feeds for cattle can translate quickly into thousands of dollars.  Learn how to pack the greatest punch into your forage with this session co-presented by UVM Agronomist Sid Bosworth and feed consultant Mike Thresher.  Sid will focus on the plant and harvest side of the equation. Mike will cover how stored feeds of varying quality will affect the nutrition and production of your animals, and how to address any shortcomings in your feed program. This session will include hands on quality evaluation and information useful for any farm looking to maximize production.
