Providing forage for cow herds is normally paramount to
maintaining a desirable level of productivity. But during
drought years, the supply of standing and harvested forages
may be extremely limited and/or very expensive.
Relocating the cow herd into drylot is a management
alternative that may allow producers to take advantage of
inexpensive grains and byproduct feeds to formulate cost
effective cow diets.
