How do cattle perform on a diverse native grassland? In this video, Colt Hamilton takes you into a native pasture in mid-June here at Hamilton Native Outpost to show what excellent body condition looks like on cattle grazing diverse native grasses. He explains how the herd naturally loses weight over the winter, becaue they do not rely on heavy supplemental feeding, then rapidly regains condition during the peak growing season. Cows being in good condition is critical heading into breeding season.
Colt also discusses expected seasonal rates of gain and how grazing changes through the summer months. If you’re interested in regenerative grazing, native warm-season grasses, livestock production, or improving pasture performance, this video provides a practical look at how diverse native plant communities can produce healthy cattle while working with nature instead of against it.
