In an article in this week's High Plains Journal by Larry Dreiling titled Intensive early stocking helps season-long pastures (click here to read the full article) he interviews Dr. Keith Harmoney, assistant professor of range science at the KSU Agricultural Research Center. Harmoney has been researching what he calls intensive early stocking (IES). As stated in the article "IES is a practice that stocks young stockers at greater densities for the first half of the growing season and then removes a heavier portion of the animals for the last half of the growing season, effectively utilizing early season vegetation at its highest level of nutrition."
Harmoney has prepared a paper for presentation at the annual KSU-ARCH Roundup, April 16, which brings scores of area cattle producers to the center for a day of education. In the paper, Harmoney writes, "(IES) may be useful as a stocking strategy to implement during short term consecutive seasons, or in a rotation of years with other systems stocked at a moderate rate, but has yet to be analyzed in western Kansas when used in a sequential rotation manner."
