Today on the Cattle USA Daily Podcast, Lauren is joined once again by Cattle Nutritionist Justin Ramirez M.S. to break down neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and explain why it's an important number for cattle producers to understand when evaluating forage quality. While crude protein and total digestible nutrients (TDN) often get the most attention, NDF provides valuable insight into potential forage intake and how much nutrition cattle can actually consume.

Justin walks through how to read a forage analysis, estimate dry matter intake using NDF, and calculate whether available hay is meeting cattle's protein and energy requirements. He also explains common mistakes when comparing dry matter and as-fed values, how to identify nutritional gaps, and how to choose supplementation strategies based on forage quality. As producers prepare for winter feeding, this conversation offers practical ways to turn forage test results into more informed nutritional and financial decisions.
