Ep 259: When Protein Pays with Dr. David Lalman

As summer progresses, forage quality can begin to decline long before the pasture looks like it's running out. That subtle change can impact intake, digestion, weight gain, body condition, and ultimately your bottom line. Oklahoma State University professor Dr. David Lalman joins us to discuss when late-summer protein supplementation makes economic sense, which classes of cattle stand to benefit the most, and how producers can evaluate whether the return on investment is worth the added input. Whether you're dealing with drought or simply managing maturing forage, this conversation offers practical insights to help you make more informed grazing and supplementation decisions. #WorkingRanchRadio #WorkingRanchMagazine #Ranching #CowCalf #Cattle #Livestock #RanchManagement #BeefProduction #GrazingManagement #ProteinSupplementation #ForageQuality #CattleNutrition #PastureManagement #DroughtManagement
