Steve Campbell, Three Keys to Easy-Keeping Cattle MP3

Cattle industry veteran Steve Campbell understands the complexities of producing premium beef, but in this session he’ll describe the three keys to easy-keeping cows. He’ll explain how a cow’s shape affects her ability to digest what she eats, how the glandular function and butterfat levels of a cow affect how much she eats and how to visually identify those characteristics and how the length of time you leave a calf on her mother affects the development of the calf’s rumen. A more developed rumen can digest more out of every bite the animal eats for the rest of its life. Practical, hands-on advice from a seasoned producer. p>(1 hour, 1 minute, 57 seconds) Recorded at the 2017 Acres U.S.A. Conference, Columbus, Ohio, Thursday, December 7, 2017.
