The best barrier to livestock leaving home is an abun- dant pasture. Normally livestock will not wander if they have lots to eat. Thus a well managed pasture will lead to productive and con- tented animals. Components of a good fencing system - Most producers like to have a secure perimeter fence with page wire or five strains of high tensile strength electric fence. If the power fails or the electric energizer is hit by lightning then the livestock are still held within. Interior fencing is best when it is movable so that the grazing can be managed according to the availability of the 'pasture and its plants. Our best pastures contain both grasses and legume plants. In the early season the animals will normally forage on the grasses and gradually switch over to legumes as the season progresses.' In a well managed pasture, grasses never develop seed heads. If the grasses are foraged down or clipped, the plants continue to push up new FARM REPORT Bruce County OMAF r. shoots or tillers. These are much more appetizing and nutritious than old seed heads to animals. In most of Ontario's pastures 80 per cbntof the production is achieved by July 15 - 30, thus removing a portion of the animals after this date will allow a much higher animal density in the early season. Another method is to cut a portion of pasture area for hay and then providing this,area as pasture in the later season. Sup- plemental feeding of forage or grain on pasture iS much harder to manage. It is quite often not cost effective. For more information on Feeding Grain on Pasture refer to OMAFRA Factsheet 420/10 "Minerals and Vitamins for . Beef Cattle."
