Recognizing and Addressing Cowherd Nutritional Deficiences

Nutritional balance is a cornerstone of herd health and productivity. According to Dr. Kelly Sanders of Westway Feed Products, deficiencies often go unnoticed until performance suffers.

Signs Of Nutritional Deficiencies In Cattle

• Poor Body Condition: Thin cows, visible ribs, or weak muscling.
  
  
  
  


• Reduced Fertility: Open cows, delayed cycling, or poor conception rates.
  
  
  
  


• Coat and Hoof Issues: Rough hair coats, brittle hooves, or slow shedding.
  
  
  
  


• Growth Challenges in Calves: Reduced weight gains or uneven growth patterns.

How To Correct Deficiencies

• Forage Testing: Identify nutrient gaps in hay and pasture.
  
  
  
  


• Targeted Supplementation: Provide liquid or block supplements to balance protein, energy, and minerals.
  
  
  
  


• Management Adjustments: Ensure adequate feed availability during high-demand stages such as lactation and breeding.

Dr. Sanders emphasizes that proactive nutrition not only boosts herd performance but also maximizes returns on investment in genetics.

Planning For Feeder Cattle Marketing In 2026

Looking ahead, market planning is critical for cattlemen aiming to maximize returns on their calf crop. Kurt Donsbach of StoneX Financial shares insights on what producers should prepare for in 2026.

Key Marketing Considerations

• 
  

  Market Volatility: Expect fluctuations tied to feed costs, beef demand, and global trade.
  
  

  
  


• 
  

  Uniformity Matters: Buyers continue to pay premiums for uniform, weaned, and preconditioned cattle.
  
  

  
  


• 
  

  Leverage Genetics: Aligning bull selection with market goals increases calf value.
  
  

  
  


• 
  

  Forward Contracts & Risk Management: Explore tools like futures, options, and video sales to lock in profitability.

  
  

Action Steps For Producers

1. Evaluate herd performance and set marketing goals early.
   
   
   
   


2. Build buyer relationships now to maximize market options.
