Dr. Ron Gill, Texas AgriLife Extension beef cattle specialist, gave a presentation this morning on early weaning calves. It's not for everyone and certainly not for the absentee cattle operator, he said. However, it does have a lot of merit in keeping female cattle in top shape, according to Gill. Dr. Bruce Carpenter, AgriLife Extension beef cattle specialist, also gave a presentation on calving strategies to reduce cow costs - a good practice today factoring in the high cost of feed.
