Start Date: 6/1/2016 - End Date: 8/30/2016
Due to the drought conditions of 2016 we have had to graze pastures we typically don't use until fall. Therefore we won't have the fall/winter grazing that we normally have and we will have to supplement our cattle several months earlier than normal. The quality of the grass that we do have is not very good. From an agricultural producer in Meade County, South Dakota, on August 30, 2016
