Winter Care of the Cow Herd: Confinement Versus Open Grazing

This study was designed to evaluate whether the effects of winter grazing or confinement for winter care of beef cows in Iowa would have any impact on the physical condition of the cow or the calf born to the cow in spring.

The study was funded by the Illinois Beef Association and conducted at Iowa State University’s McNay Memorial Research and Demonstration Farm and the Beef Teaching Farm.
