A shortage of feed this spring may prompt ranchers to make plans to avoid the same thing next year.
With little feed left over and stressed pastures, beef specialists are requesting producers plan differently this spring to avoid shortages next winter.
Long-range forecasts point to a warmer and drier growing season this year, so growing and gaining access to lots of feed could be challenging.
As well, many pastures are currently stressed due to last year’s dryness, overgrazing and grasshoppers.
