“Starting now and going into the early fall, forage quantity and/or quality are generally going down,” Larson says. “For an adult cow that doesn’t have a growth component, the nutrients that are available in the forage may be perfectly fine to maintain her body condition. But for a young, growing animal…think of it like a teenager raiding the fridge. As the forage quantity and quality decreases, so does the total caloric potential for that calf to consume. Maybe we could add some additional grain or byproduct feeds that would meet some additional calories.”

Still reflecting on the awesome trip we had to Grand Island, Nebraska and the 2026 American Gelbvieh Junior Association The Good Life Junior Classic a few weeks ago!

Besides the cattle, and their placings in the show ring, there are other parts of this business we loved -- including visiting with fellow breeders, and leading the room in prayer before the banquet. 🙏
