The effect of rapid paddock movement on yearling steer weight gain and forage condition in north‐central Nebraska,USA
Approximately 400 yearling steers in a mixed group of low‐to‐moderate quality animals of varying sizes and breeds were provided to the contract grazier by a backgrounding operation whose objective was to minimize winter feed costs and capitalize on summer gains.Most of the animals appeared to have Brahman and Charolais influence.The grazing property can be found on the headwaters of the Elkhorn River in north‐central Nebraska (42°9.357′N ;99°0.531′W).Annual precipitation is approximately 1000 mm,with annual variations from approximately 500 to 1500 mm.Most rain falls in May and June,and as thunderstorms in July and August.The average summer temperature for the region is 20 ℃.Summer daytime temperatures over 38 ℃ with high humidity and no wind are common.
