Grazing is the cheapest way to feed cattle on a cost per pound of nutrient basis. However, producers with limited land resources in Kentucky have been able to use commodities or grain by-products to increase cattle numbers due to low cost and availability of these inputs. Extending the grazing season is one solution that would enable producers to reduce costs and expand production with little or no impact on the environment. Corn is not a traditional grazing crop in Kentucky, but results from several on-farm trials in southeastern Kentucky suggest that grazing corn could be part of such an extended grazing program.
