Additional energy in the form of commercial feeds, corn, other grains or high-energy byproducts can improve a cow's body condition. The goal is to start feeding additional energy to the cows before they start to lose weight. Observe the condition of your cows to determine if they'll be ready at breeding time. For more information on evaluating body condition, feeding or other topics relating to beef production, contact the local Agricultural Extension Service agent. Then you can exhibit your work through the 4-H Photo Search Contest.
Competition is open to all junior-high and senior members.
Photos submitted must relate to 4-H in some way. Entries must have been taken by the 4-H'er making the entry. Entries may be a single photo or a series of not more than four photos. Judging will be done on the basis of the quality and message of the entry. Roundup at The University of Tennessee, Martin.
