Welcome to BCI Cattle Chat! Most nutritionists consider water the most significant nutrient cattle consume, so correctly managing this finite resource becomes critical for successful beef production. Joe Gerken, K-State assistant professor of Wildlife and Outdoor Enterprise Management, begins the episode by discussing various pond fundamentals with the hosts. Gerken and the experts then progress the show by answering a listener’s question about providing a separate water source for calves. Lastly, this week’s Cattle Chat concludes with interesting dialogue around different pond management strategies. Thanks for tuning in, and enjoy the episode!
