This podcast is the 1st Research Roundup, which is a new component to the podcast. The Research Roundup is a time to highlight single research projects to allow listeners to learn about timely research, even before it is published. This first Round up topic is about tamegrass options for heifers to graze during the summer. We evaluated heifer performance on fesuce, bermudagrass, crabgrass, and fescue interseeded with sorghum-sudan. Dr. Jaymelynn Farney, at the Southeast Research and Extension Center in Parsons, presented the information.
