Winter pastures training set Aug. 17
Planting winter pastures
this fall might not save
livestock producers’ bacon,
but doing so could certainly
help them save what hay
they have if there’s another
drought next summer,
according to a Texas
AgriLife Extension Service
expert.
“Normally, people plant
winter pastures to defray
winter feeding costs,” said
Dr. Jason Banta, AgriLife
Extension beef cattle
specialist, Overton. “But
hay stocks are certainly not
up to sufficient levels, and
by reducing winter feeding
they can certainly hang
onto more of the stocks
they have.”
To help producers do the
best possible job of
developing and utilizing
winter pastures, Banta and
his colleague, Dr. Vanessa
Corriher, AgriLife Extension
forage specialist, Overton,
will be conducting a short
course, “Winter Pastures
for Central and East Texas,”
9:30 a.m - 6 p.m., Aug., 17,
at the Texas AgriLife
Research and Extension
Center at Overton.
Registration for the
program is $60 and
includes lunch and program
materials, and will be
limited to the first 50
people to register. The
program will offer two
continuing education units
to Texas Department of
Agriculture private
pesticide applicator license
holders — one in the
integrated pest
management category and
one in general. Register
online by going to https://
agriliferegister.tamu.edu
and entering the keyword
“pasture.”
The program will answer
a lot of the questions
people commonly have
about establishing winter
pastures, Banta said. Some
issues addressed will
include which species are
best suited to a particular
type of operation, how
much money on feed cost
they can expect to save,
and how to interpret seed-
tag information and create
a custom soil and
production map for a farm
from satellite data.
Program topics will be:
species and variety
selection, Corriher; monthly
and seasonal forage
production potential,
Banta; establishment and
fertilization, Corriher;
estimated costs, grazing
and utilization strategies,
Banta; insect control and
transitioning from winter
to spring forages, Corriher;
insects in legumes, Corriher
;bloat and grass tetany
prevention and
management, Banta; and
appropriate mineral
supplementation, Banta.
A question and answer
session will follow the
presentations.
