This book tackles the challenge of livestock evaluation and forage production from both the perspective of the livestock producer and the forage breeder. The author initially prompts readers with ten essential questions that every rancher should be able to answer about their livestock to determine their optimal feed type. The remainder of the first section offers guidance on evaluating the quality of your forage and offers alternative feeding methods such as digestion trials and chemical analysis to help you meet the nutritional needs of your livestock. The final three sections of the book discuss individual forage species, including orchardgrass, tall fescue, and various legumes, their nutritional benefits and drawbacks, and how to breed the species to maximize yield, persistence, and quality. This book will help you make informed decisions about your forage program and maximize the profitability of your operation.
