Drought conditions throughout the state are forcing some cattle producers to move their livestock off federal land allotments earlier than usual. Some major management decisions must be made when this happens. Planning now will help producers decide what they need to do to keep their operations economically viable, said Norris Stenquist, Utah State University Extension livestock specialist. First, producers should take stock of their stock. This includes counting cattle and determining ages. There are differences in feed requirements depending on a cows age. Cows that show the greatest potential for producing calves with good weight gains and can become pregnant again for the next season should be clearly identified. This information is valuable if culling is eventually required to reduce cattle numbers, he said. In addition, test for pregnancy, said Clell Bagley, USU Extension veterinarian. Test cows that have the potential of producing a calf next spring. Dont over winter open cows, he said. This is not a good practice any time and is especially important when feed supplies are short. Records of production are also important when identifying productive animals. Give young cows preference to older cows, he said. Another important step, according to Stenquist, is to conduct an inventory on feed supplies. This includes range feed, stored feed, feed produced this year, feed left over from last feeds and supplemental feeds. year, Forage analysis of these feeds should also be considered, he said. This will give more precise information to use in diet formulation. The most critical step is matching feed inventory with cattle inventory. This is the best way to decide if shortages will occur. Stenauist. said if numbers dont match, the time for quick decisions is at hand, such as: Should I purchase more feed? Should I market some cattle? What are my alternatives? The important thing is to have a plan, he said. Dont wait until feed supplies run out, cattle are thin and a forced liquidation becomes necessary.

Before starting a project, review potential hazards and the dangerous correct situations. Thinking ahead and taking the following precautionary measures suggested by the National Safety Council can reduce the likelihood of home improvement accidents. Falls account for a large number of injuries and deaths associated with home projects, and often occur because hazards are allowed to exist in the work space. Avoid clutter in the work area. Move unused buckets, wet rags, paint brushes, tools and other items safely away and wipe up spills immediately. Use a ladder. Many falls occur when makeshift climbing devices such as chairs, tables and boxes are used instead of ladders or scaffolds. Use a ladder safely. Place it on solid footing and dont stretch out to reach points while on a ladder. Instead, step down and move the ladder so that you can stand upright. Dont step SPORTS FANS!
