IT IS JUNE, AND the grass is growing faster than you can get animals out on the paddocks to use it. Pasture management decisions made today will pay off later this fall, but it's time to get on it because, in the words of June Carter Cash, "Time's a wastin'." Planning for the grazing season ahead includes feed budgeting, seeding, stockpiling, fly control, mineral placement, rotation scheduling, weed control and making hay. Preparing a feed budget for the remainder of the grazing season will assist you in determining whether you need to find extra sources of pasture. A feed budget is simply adding up the quantity of forage you will need for your livestock and comparing that total to the estimated quantity of forage that will be available for the remainder of the season.
