There are several advantages to late weaning. It is more natural and results in less stress for the ewe and lambs. There is less risk of the ewe developing mastitis since her milk production has declined significantly by the time the lambs are removed. Late weaning allows the producer to take advantage of available forage for lambs. It enables the producer to keep ewes and lambs in the same management group. 2, record 1, English, - late%20weaning

An animal is considered grass-fed, according to the USDA [United States Deparment of Agriculture] Grass Fed Marketing Claim Standards, when grass and forage are the "feed source consumed for the lifetime of the ruminant animal, with the exception of milk consumed prior to weaning. Animals cannot be fed grain or grain by-products and must have continuous access to pasture during the growing season. Hay, haylage, baleage, silage, crop residue without grain, and other roughage sources may also be included as acceptable feed sources. Routine mineral and vitamin supplementation may also be included in the feeding regimen. " 3, record 3, English, - grass%2Dfed%20beef

Brown mid-rib(BMR) corn has a lower lignin content than other silage corn varieties, and many growers are interested in this type of corn for its higher digestibility and potential to yield more milk than conventional silage corn. With BMR's high fiber digestibility it may help increase dry matter intake of forage and may reduce purchase of concentrates. 11, record 4, English, - brown%20midrib%20corn

Only with a 1 : 3 grain-to-milk ratio did good quality pasture provide adequate pasture intake at 80 pounds of milk.... Holsteins producing more than 60 pounds of milk with good quality pasture should be supplemented with 1 pound of grain per 4 pounds of milk, with the amount of concentrate varied with milk production and body condition. Generally, 12 pounds to 20 pounds of concentrate are fed to cows when pasture is their sole forage source. 1, record 6, English, - grain%2Dto%2Dmilk%20ratio
