As I write this, it s currently pouring down rain outside the office. Whoever predicted a drought for 2016 really missed the target. This has been a very wet summer which has caused some growing pains for most farmers I have been in contact with. Between June and July we had almost 12 inches of rain, which left many crops, soybeans and tobacco especially, struggling. Then someone turned on the extra heat, so we ve had earlier indications of disease, and fungus on crops, vegetables, and fruit. It s hard to think about harvest in a couple of months, when some of us are just now getting things going! As you read on into this newsletter, I ll have more info throughout the newsletter on different ag topics. I plan to use this newsletter as a means to help spread the word on some projects, programs, and news that is happening at the Grayson County Extension Office. At this point, we are going to send this out quarterly, so if you would rather receive this via , please whitney.carman@uky.edu subject line: newsletter with your address in the body. We want to make sure this will be a viable piece of information for you going forward.

If large amounts of these forages are consumed, especially after frost or during severe drought, then prussic acid (cyanide) is produced and interferes with oxygen utilization and livestock can die from respiratory paralysis. Symptoms appear quickly after the forage is consumed. These symptoms may include cherry red colored blood, staggering, labored breathing, spasms, foaming at the mouth, falling, thrashing, severe convulsions, and death. If an animal is seen showing these symptoms, seek immediate treatment for these animals by a veterinarian. The Grayson County Extension office has cyanide and nitrate testing kits for testing, and if you would like to test your forages before grazing. To reduce the risk of prussic acid poisoning, consider some of the following management tools: Incorporate forages that do not produce prussic acid into the diet to dilute the concentration of prussic acid. Use test animals if you have not had high risk forages tested, rather than turning the whole herd onto a new field. Cut high risk forages for hay, as prussic acid content decreases significantly during the curing process. A fair amount of prussic acid also escapes as a gas during fermentation when used for silage. However, be sure to delay feeding silage for six to eight weeks following ensiling. Although these practices may reduce the risk of prussic acid poisoning, it is still important to be cautious when feeding forages with possible high prussic acid content. The Cooperative Extension Service prohibits discrimination in its programs and employment on the basis of race, color, age, sex, religion, disability, or national origin. To file a complaint of discrimination, contact Tim West, UK College of Agriculture, ; Terry Allen or Patty Bender, UK Office of Institutional Equity and Equal Opportunity, ; or the USDA, Director Office of Civil Rights, Room 326-W Whitten Bldg., 14th & Independence Ave. SW, Washington, DC ( ).

4 Why Have a Calving Season? Dr. Glenn Selk, Oklahoma State University Extension Cattle Reproduction Specialist One of the most asked questions in the cattle industry in the Southern United States: If I "pull" the bulls out for part of the year, won't I lose an opportunity to get a few calves? Should I leave the bull out with cows year round? Here is the answer: A research analysis of 394 ranch observations from the Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico SPA (standardized performance analysis) data set provided insight into the age old argument about "leaving the bull out" or having a defined breeding season. Oklahoma State University and Texas A&M Agricultural Economists (Parker, et al) presented a paper at the 2004 Southern Association of Agricultural Scientists. They found a positive relationship between number of days of the breeding season and the production cost per hundredweight of calf weaned. Also they reported a negative relationship between number of days of the breeding season and pounds of calf weaned per cow per year. The data suggested that for each day the breeding season was lengthened, the annual cost of producing a hundred pounds of weaned calf increased by 4.7 cents and pounds of calf weaned per cow per year decreased by pounds. The range of breeding seasons in the data set was from extremely short (less than one month) to 365 days or continuous presence of the bull. The trend lines that resulted from the analysis of the data give us an opportunity to evaluate the economic importance of a defined breeding season. The producer that leaves the bull out year-round (365 days) would sell fewer pounds of calf per cow per year on the average than producers with a 75 day breeding season. That same producer would have $13.63 greater costs per hundredweight of weaned calf than the producer that used a 75 day breeding season. In this era of cost/price squeezes, a well-defined breeding and calving season provides a better opportunity to survive the volatility of cattle prices and input costs.
