Fall brings cooler temperatures and shorter days. Your pastures slow down, and the grass loses its nutritional punch. You must adjust your management strategy now to keep your herd in top condition before winter arrives.
Bridge the Nutrition Gap
As grass quality fades, your cattle stop getting the protein and energy they need from grazing alone. You cannot let their body condition slip now. It is much harder and more expensive to put weight back on a cow in the winter than it is to maintain it in the fall.
We recommend Purina® RangeLand® protein tubs. These tubs provide a consistent source of protein and energy. They encourage your cattle to eat more low-quality forage and digest it better. The self-fed design saves you labor and ensures every cow gets her share.
Boost Immune Health
Fall is a stressful time for calves, especially during weaning. Stress weakens the immune system, making them vulnerable to respiratory diseases. You need to support their health from the inside out.
Purina® Precon® Complete creates a strong foundation for weaned calves. This complete pellet is highly palatable and easy to digest. It gets calves eating quickly, which keeps their energy up and their immune system fighting.
Manage Parasites
Internal parasites steal nutrients from your livestock. A heavy worm load drags down weight gain and overall health. Fall is a critical time to deworm your herd.
Stop by for effective dewormers like Ivomec or Cydectin. Treating your cattle now cleans them out before they face the stress of winter. A clean gut absorbs feed better, saving you money on hay and supplements.
