Livestock Producers have Options for Dealing with Forage Shortage

Biologically Effective Grazing Management Reduces the Detrimental Effects from Drought Conditions on Grasslands

Annual Cover Crop Options for Grazing and Haying in the Northern Plains

The purpose of this publication is to provide annual forage options that can be used in cover crop mixtures for livestock grazing and/or hay production. The use of cover crops in a cropping rotation has been resurrected in recent years due…

Biologically Effective Management of Grazing

A report from Dickinson REC on the effective management of grazing for the biological benefit of grassland ecosystems.

Cover crop bale grazing after annual forage grazing on yearling steer grazing and feedlot performance, muscling, carcass measurements and carcass value

A long-term (10-Year) integrated crop and beef cattle investigation at the Dickinson Research Extension Center focusing on the interrelations of crop production, soil health, and beef cattle production.

Cyanide Poisoning

Cyanide, prussic acid and hydrocyanic acid are all terms describing the same toxic substance. It is one of the most rapidly acting toxins that affect mammals. Cyanide is a lethal ingredient that has been used in rodent and vermin killers.

Determining Carrying Capacity and Stocking Rates for Range and Pasture in North Dakota

Establishing the correct stocking rate is critical in optimizing forage performance and maintaining animal performance while ensuring the sustained health and production of the grassland resources.

Determining Grazing Readiness for Native and Tame Pastures

One of the most important grazing management decisions land managers make is selecting a start date for grazing tam pasture and native range. Monitoring grazing readiness ensures that grazing starts at the proper time, when plants are…

Determining Pasture Rental Rates

Livestock producers and land owners have asked for a simple and fair method to determine pasture rental rates. This tends to be a difficult question to answer as prices can vary from region to region due to market demand and supply.…

Ecological Sites of North Dakota

An ecological site is a distinctive kind of land with specific soil and physical characteristics that differ from other kinds of land in its ability to produce a distinctive kind and amount of vegetation and its ability to respond…

Effect of bale grazing following annual forage grazing on steer grazing and feedlot performance, muscling ratio, carcass measurements, and carcass value

Forage mineral concentration with patch-burn grazing

The objective of this study was to determine if patch burning can increase mineral concentration of forage in rangeland pastures. Forage calcium, phosphorus, copper and zinc concentration was greater in burned areas than in unburned areas…
