Keep cows moving to protect calves from scours

Curt Arens
SAVING CALVES: The Sandhills Calving System calls for moving pregnant cows every week forward to fresh calving pastures and leaving cows with newborn calves behind in previous pasture paddocks. This system reduces calf scours significantly by all but eliminating exposure of newborns to pathogens that cause scours.
The Sandhills Calving System can save thousands of dollars for beef producers.
Recurring calf scours can be a real killer for cow-calf beef operations. It ranks among the top causes of mortality for young calves across the nation. Cattlemen know that scours can range from mild conditions with loose stool, all the way to severe dehydration and death. ....

4 factors affecting replacement heifer values

Curt Arens
BEING PRODUCTIVE: When buying or retaining replacement heifers, producers need to be aware of the effect of several factors on the long-term economic implications from those heifers.
Longevity or replacement rates within the herd are crucial in deciding what you can afford to pay.
One of the biggest decisions you can make that affects your bottom line for the cow-calf herd is deciding what you can pay for replacement heifers. If you pay too much, you are setting yourself up for a situation where those heifers cannot possibly pay for themselves over time.
At a recent University of Nebraska BeefWatch webinar, Randy Saner, Nebraska Extension educator, told participants that longevity or replacement rates within the herd are crucial in deciding what you can afford to pay and if a heifer made money for the operation, or cost money. ....
