More grass, more beef

Weeds and brush can deplete a pasture's carrying capacity by as much as two-thirds and reduce forage quality. Control boosts forage nutrient value and crude protein content besides helping you extend your stocking rates and grazing season.

For every pound of weeds you control, you gain another pound of grass. This helps cut feed costs. You should also protect your herd from poisonous weeds and thorny brush. Better pastures help improve daily gains, cow body condition, replacement heifer maturity, conception rates, milk quality, and weaning weights.

Bottom line: The more good grass you grow, the lower your cost of production. See Stockdale's for weed and brush control products.
