Estimating forage mass of tall fescue pastures and dry matter intake and digestibility of fescue forage by beef steers
A series of three experiments were conducted to evaluate different methods of estimating forage mass of tall fescue pastures, and dry matter intake and digestibility in beef steers under indoor and grazing conditions. Forage mass was estimated with the herbage cutting method (HCM) and three indirect...
