fall. Subclover will grow in cool
weather and starts growing ear
lier in the spring than ladino.
After the subclover sets seed
in July the irrigation sprouts
the seed and the clover is com
ing back strong in August. In
the cool weather of September
and October the subclover will
again grow better than ladino.
The use of irrigated subclover
pasture in combination with ir
rigated ladino clover pasture has
an advantage in areas with a
shorter growing season such as
the Nehalem Valley, according to
Ellises. They like the way sub
clover grows in April and May
and m October and November. It
helps stretch out the pasture
season.
The average production of all
cows in the Columbia County
DHIA was 9,191 pounds of milk
and 399 pounds of butterfat dur
ing the past year.
There was a big differ-nce in
the various herds testing in the
association, however. The high
herd produced an average of 9,-
556 pounds of milk per cow com
pared to 6,861 pounds for the low
herd. This makes a difference of
$223 income per cow.
If you had a 20 cow herd the
higher production would mean
$4,460 more income per ytar.
Fe'-ding and breeding can make
a big difference in how well the
herd pays.
The sheep breeding season is
approaching. A thrifty but gain
ing condition in the ewes will
insure a good lamb crop. Ewes
should not be too n»t. It may
pay to put them on dry feed and
pull them down a bit if ewes
are too fat. Then turn them out
on good feed just before the
breeding season.
Don’t plow up that newly
planted pasture just because the
stand appears to be poor. It will
pay to examine the stand very
carefully. Be sure you can iden
tify the small grass and clover
seedlings.
Every year about this time we
get some inquiries to examine
pasture steding.
