A Method of Feeding Supplements to Individual Cattle on Winter Range¹

Utah State University, Logan

Abstract

Equipment was designed to feed supplements to cattle grazing on the winter range by the use of temporary corrals and feeding chutes. Cattle were fed more successfully every other day than daily or every third day. A feeding period of approximately 10 days was required before wild cattle could be fed in feeding chutes without difficulty. Once a feeding pattern had been established, it was possible to feed 60 head of cattle in less than two hours. With this technique it is possible to design range experiments to take into account the effects of treatment without bias due to pastures and climatic variables encountered in group feeding.
