Protein blocks for gestating beef cows wintered on bluestem pasture: soybean meal and starea compared

Authors

Abstract

Pregnant Hereford and Angus cows wintered on native bluestem pasture were used to compare soybean-meal and Starea-containing blocks and protein supplements. Cow weight changes were similar with both supplements. Consumption of Starea supplement declined throughout the trial, while soybean meal block consumption remained constant.
