Research Summaries

This page highlights research project summaries related to beef-forage production systems in Alabama.

Cow-Calf Systems

• Stockpiled Tifton 44 bermudagrass for dry, pregnant beef cows
  
  
• Stockpiled Tifton 85 bermudagrass as an alternative to feeding hay for lactating beef cows

• Pre-conditioning beef calves with high-moisture forages and co-product feeds

• Evaluation of warm-season annual baleage in a cow-calf production system

Stocker Production Systems

• Beef cattle performance from grazed mixtures of triticale and wheat with ryegrass

• Grazing evaluation of annual and perennial cool-season forage systems for stocker cattle in North Alabama

• Grazing evaluation of stockpiled Tifton 85 bermudagrass pastures for backgrounding stocker cattle in South Alabama

• Grazing evaluation of cool-season annual forage mixtures as cover crops for stocker cattle in South Alabama

• Supplementation of stocker cattle grazing annual ryegrass
