In Part 3 of Pasture Project’s video series on adaptive grazing, we focus on factors that indicate high-quality pasture. Ideal pastures have high biological activity, diverse plant communities, and significant forage at mid-stage maturity. Thanks to Dr. Allen Williams (Pasture Project & Grass Fed Insights, LLC) for his contributions to this video.
In Part 4 of Pasture Project’s video series on adaptive grazing, we focus on the importance of plant community complexity and diversity in pastures. Greater plant diversity is associated with higher microbial diversity in soils, which results in numerous benefits to plant health and nutritional quality.

On most Canadian beef farms, beef cows and their calves live on pasture during the spring, summer and fall, eating mostly a grass diet. Then, they generally move into feedlots where they grow until they are ready to go to market. In this video, the father/daughter team of Paul and Allison take you through their animals’ diet in their feedlot. They explain the various ingredients that are mixed together including a mixture of corn silage, grain corn (just the kernels), haylage (chopped up alfalfa and grass), wet distillers’ grain, vitamins and minerals. The diet (ration) is changed to meet changing needs as the cattle are growing.

Dr. Emily makes a farm call to help out a calf that’s ballooned with a bad case of bloat.
Reproduction is the most important factor affecting profitability for cow-calf producers, and body condition has the greatest impact on reproduction. Beef cows managed at a body condition score (BCS) of 2.5-3.0 on a 5-point scale have higher calving rates, lower calving intervals, show estrus more quickly after calving and produce higher quality and quantity milk. This means more calves, and heavier calves through to weaning. It pays to manage cows in the right condition year-round.
