Beef Cow Nutrition Guide

---

Summary.
A good cowherd nutrition program not only meets the cow’s needs, but does so at minimal cost. This emphasis on cost is essential since cost/return analyses of cowherds in Kansas indicate that feed costs represent approximately 50 to 70 percent of total costs; and, feed costs are one of the few areas in which producers can make significant changes, quickly.
Feed is not only the major cost item, but it also is the major factor influencing reproductive performance—the second most important factor in cowherd profitability. This relationship establishes what should be the primary goal of cowherd nutrition programs—maintaining a high reproductive rate. Specifically, the emphasis should be on maintaining an optimal reproductive rate, which may be somewhat below the maximum rate attainable. In other words, it may cost more in feed to move the calf crop from 92 to 94 percent than the additional calves are worth. Attaining the most profitable balance between feed costs and reproductive rate is obviously difficult, but it is the key to a profitable cowherd enterprise.
