Are your cattle getting everything they need from grass alone this summer? 🌱🐮

Summer grazing is often seen as the cheapest phase of growing cattle, but relying solely on grass can limit performance when aiming to maximise liveweight gain.

Supplementing grazing with 1kg Elitestock Rolls can help:
✔️ Support growth rates
✔️ Improve consistency
✔️ Make better use of available grazing

“Mineral nutrition is another important consideration. Grass may not supply adequate levels of key trace elements such as copper, selenium and zinc, which are essential for growth, health and immunity.”

When it comes to creep feeding, timing matters 🐑📈

As younger animals have an inbuilt growth efficiency, we can feed less for more gain.

For example:
✔️ A young lamb will need around 4kg of feed to gain 1kg weight
✔️ An older lamb, post weaning will need closer to 5kg of feed to gain 1kg weight

That’s why early nutrition can make such a difference to performance and feed efficiency.

Creep feeding can offer many advantages on farm - but first and foremost it must be profitable to do so.

Getting the right system in place can help support efficient growth while making the most of lamb performance during the period they are naturally most efficient.
