Drought Tip: Drought Strategies for Beef Cattle Culling
2015
Author(s): Davy, Josh S; Forero, Larry C; Nader, Glenn A; Stackhouse, Jeffrey W | Abstract: Managing livestock during drought usually combines supplemental feeding and culling. Removing animals from the herd is the most direct method of reducing forage consumption on drought-stricken rangeland. Strategic culling requires the ability to navigate the current year's challenges while considering the necessity to rebuild cattle numbers in the future. Culling and selling cattle will reduce forage consumption to better match range production.
