6 ALL AROUND WISE, Decatur, Texas, Thursday, January 15, 2009 By GARY CLAYTON Wise Co. Extension Agent Many times we would like to have some sort of a gauge to tell us when, how much and of what we should supplement beef cow herds. One method in order to decide what to put in the front end of the cow is to just look at what is coming out the back end. Manure characteristics can certainly tell us something about the nutritional status of a cow. This assumes, of course, that she is not wormy or otherwise unhealthy. It’s all based on nutrient content, digestibility and rate of passage of the diet. When everything Come See What Every fi nanced vehicle carries our exclusive “Service Contract” to cover any major repair for the he life of the contract up p to 24 months with NO DEDUCTIBLE CANTU is right, manure patties will be moist and relatively fl at. When things deteriorate, manure starts becoming drier and stacks. Basically, as forage digestibility decreases, typically in late fall and winter but also often in late summer, the rate of passage through the gut slows dramatically. More moisture is absorbed and manure becomes drier, sometimes containing almost no moisture when digestibility drops below 30 to 35 percent and crude protein falls below 4 to 5 percent. When this happens the cow is not getting much nutrition even if she has plenty of this low quality hay or standing grass available. CAR CORNER “We’ve got you covered!” CAN -DO-FOR-YOU US US Hwy. Highway 287 287 North, Decatur 940-627-1877 940-627-9577 fax Open 8 - 6 Monday - Friday & 9 - 3 Saturday CLAYTON’S CORNER She simply can’t eat much if what she’s eating is staying in the gut a long time and she’s not getting much out of what she does eat. Under these conditions, supplemental protein can have a signifi cant effect by allowing rumen bacteria to function effectively. When we fi rst start seeing these manure effects, about a pound of 30 to 40 percent protein supplement a day will improve intake and digestibility. (This doesn’t have to be fed every day. You could feed 2 - 2 1/2 pounds three times a week). As forage quality goes down, but is still present in adequate amounts, it will be necessary to increase the level of feeding. Generally, about three pounds a day of a high protein feed is about as high as we would ever go. If this amount doesn’t do the job we’ll have to go to even higher levels of a combination protein-energy feed like 20 percent breeder cubes, whole cottonseed, meal-grain mixes, etc. and/ or provide supplemental forage, usually as hay. While not completely scientifi c, manure monitoring can be a useful tool to gauge supplemental feeding requirements. ■ A Beef Cattle Program “Controlling Trich” is scheduled for 7 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 15, 2009 at SUDOKU Complete the Sudoku grid so that each row, each column, and each 3 by 3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9.

ALL AROUND WISE, Decatur, Texas, Thursday, January 15, 2009 7 Resolving to make better New Year’s resolutions By THE AMERICAN COUNSELING ASSOCIATION Want to make some New Year’s resolutions this year that you actually might keep? It really isn’t that diffi cult and it pays benefi ts. Resolutions usually mean positive changes, and wellmade resolutions help avoid the problems that come with poor resolutions quickly broken. While a broken New Year’s resolution might not seem very important, for on Camp some people it actually can be. From a mental health perspective, broken resolutions are sometimes harmful because they can have us seeing ourselves as failures, falling short of our goals. A broken New Year’s resolution is another example of how weak we are, helping to erode self-confi dence and self-esteem. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t make New Year’s resolutions. They offer a wonderful opportunity to examine where you are and to set goals for the things Camp is a beautiful baby boy who loves to show his smile! He loves baths, watching his friends and cuddling with his teachers. Come join Camp & his friends at D.A.C. D.A.C. S P OT L I G H T 701 Deer Park, Decatur • 940-626-4444 you’d like to change. The most important element for good resolutions is to make them realistic. You’re not going to lose 25 pounds by the end of January or immediately look like an Olympic athlete if it’s been years since you’ve been near the gym. One way to make successful resolutions is to set realistic mileposts. That means breaking big tasks into smaller, more manageable units. If you’re resolving to lose weight, forget the number of pounds you want to shed and instead focus on moving to a healthier diet that will naturally lead to weight loss. Maybe your fi rst mini-goal is to cut out one high calorie food each day or week and to replace it with a healthier fruit or vegetable. If your resolution is to exercise more, start slowly with an initial goal, say walking 15 minutes each day, that you know you can achieve. Similarly, if it’s smoking that you want to stop, maybe your fi rst goal is to cut by 10 percent the number of ciga- Dump Trucks for Hire Terry and Derrick Vaughan 817-832-1484 940-393-2544 940-683-4200 rettes you smoke each day, or to contact your doctor or local hospital to learn about smoking cessation programs and stop-smoking aids. When you create realistic resolutions with attainable mini-goals, what you’re really doing is developing a plan to reach your fi nal goal. Attainable mini-goals toward that bigger overall target are a way to ensure success, to focus on positive behavioral changes and to feel good about the suc- Medical Center Pharmacy • Prescriptions • Compounding • Drive-Thru • Delivery Ask us about our $7.50/$15 drug list 1101 Eagle Dr. • Suite C • Decatur 940-627-5400 Mon. - Fri., 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. • Sat., 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. 115 E.
