Fanning Notes
One or the most important
phases of livestock farming is
pasture management at this sea
son of the year the most valu
able thing that can be done in
pasture management is to clip
them. Clipping pastures offers
several advantagjes to. farmers
who are attempting to develop
a well balanced pasture and1 feed
program.
Clipping destroys undesirably
weeds, affords a source of sup f
plementary hay for winter feed
ing, reduces competition for nu
trients. Moisture and Tight .by
undesirable species, stumlates
growth of those plants which
are desirable, and increases the
fet'd value and palatability of
those plants which are desired.
Every livestock farmer in the
county realizes that his great
est problem is in producing a
feed supply sufficient to winter
the number of cattle he can keep
during the summer. Clipping of
fers some relief to this siuation,
especially if the pasture contains
the taller growing species such
as Ladino clover with orchaid
grass or fescue. It can readily
be seen then, that through clip
ping pastures the carrying ca
pacity of the farm is increased.
Regardless of the amount and
quality of hay received from
pastures, the removal of weeds
which afford competition to pas.
:ure grasses and the increase in
feed value and palatability
which reset Kb from, clipping,
makes it a profitable thing to
