Is your “cow pasture” equipped to feed cattle? Let’s find out!
Did you know that grasses make up about 26% of the plant life on Earth? And since cows are grazers by nature, it’s not surprising that grasses contribute significantly to a cow’s diet, especially when they are out in the pasture. But exactly what they eat when they are foraging for themselves may not be as cut-and-dry as when the feed is premeasured.
In this activity, kids you’ll learn how to determine if a pasture is right for your cattle and how many it can support.
Hint: After completing the activity, don’t forget to mark it as complete to track your progress!
