Prescribed Burn Associa-
tion Meeting
The Payne County Conser-
vation District has an oppor-
tunity to help put together a
burn association, with the
help of the Lincoln County
Burn Association.
We are looking for people
who are interested in helping
get this off the ground and up
and running. »We will have
people who are qualified to
write burn plans for you.
We will have equipment to
help with the application of
prescribed fires.
This is an opportunity for
you to join the association
which will help get your
place burned while help-
ing other get their property
burned.

LEGAL NOTICE
Legal notice published in The
Perkins Journal July 4, 2019
The Payne County Board of
County Commissioners met in
a regular meeting of the board
at 9:00 am. on June 3, 2019 at
the Payne County Administration
Building, Gloria Hesser Com-
missioner Meeting Room 200,
located in Stillwater, Oklahoma.
Chairman Reding called the
meeting to order: 9:00 am.
The following members were
present: Chairman - Chrls
Reding, District 2, Zach Cavett,
Commissioner District 1, Rocky
Blasier -— Commissioner District
3, Cathy Chapman — Deputy
County Clerk. Invocation by
Chris Reding, and Flag Salute
to our country by Dewey Clapp.
Approve minutes of the previous
meeting of the-board: The Clerk's
Office presented minutes of the
previous meeting. Motion by
Cavett to approve minutes of the
County Commissioner meeting of
; May 30th as presented, second
by Blasier. Roll Call Vote: Cavett-
Yes, Blasier-Yes, Reding-Yes.
Minutes of the Study Session
held on May SOth were presented
for approval. Cavett and Reding
requested corrections be made to
the minutes. Motion by Cavett to
an amazing number if you
think about it! Given that
there is little storage of beef
beyond pipeline supplies,
it means that roughly 500
million pounds of a wide
range of beef products are
moving through a vast array
of retail grocery, restaurant,
food service and export
markets every week. It is
an enormous and complex
set of markets.
Total cattle slaughter is up
1 .3 percent year over year in
the 24 weeks ended-in mid-
June. Year-to-date steer
slaughter is down 2.2 per-
cent while heifer slaughter is
up 7.9 percent compared to
one year ago. Total yearling
(steer heifer) slaughter is
up 1 .3 percent year over year
for the year to date. The
most recent weekly steer
carcass weights were 849
pounds, seven pounds less
than the same date last year.
Steer carcass weights have
averaged 4.9 pounds less for
the year to date compared
to one year earlier. Cur—
rent heifer carcass weights
are 791 pounds, down 4
pounds year over year and
have averaged 5.8 pounds
less than the first 24 weeks
last year.
Yearling carcass weights
have likely reached the sea-
sonal low. Steer carcass
weights reached a low of
842 poUnds in weeks 21
and 22 this year compared
to low of 846 pounds in
week 20 of 2018. Heifers
have likely bottomed at 779
pounds in week 22 this year
compared to a seasonal low
of 782 pounds in week 20
last year. Steer and heifer
carcass weights typically
increase from the recent
low to a seasonal peak in the
fourth quarter of the year. In v
2018, steer carcass weights
peaked inVNovember with
a weight of 902 pounds in
week 47. Heifer carcass
weights peaked in weeks
45 and 48 at 838 pounds
last year.
With feed costs destined
to be somewhat higher in
the second half of the year,
feedlots will have some
incentive to trim back days
on feed suggesting lighter
finished and, thus, carcass
weights. However, feedlots
do this largely by placing
heavier feeder cattle, which
need fewer days to finish.
Heavier placement weights
imply heavier finish Weights.
one pound increase in place—
ment weight results in about
one—half pound increase in
finished weight. Thus, the
impact of higher feed prices
on carcass weights is unclear
but is unlikely to have a
major impact.
Assuming carcass weights
remain at or below last
year’s levels for the remain—
der of the year, beef pro~
duction is expected to total
just over one percent higher
year over year for 2019. As
long as beef demand does
not weaken appreciably in
the reminder of the year, fed
cattle prices are expected to
average about equal to 201 8
levels for an annual average.
Fed prices are expected to
be slightly lower year over
year in the third quarter
before strengthening in the
fourth quarter. Feeder prices
are generally expected to
average three to five percent
below 2018 levels for the
remainder of the year and
for an annual average.
Mid to late summer sup-
plementation for fall-born
replacement heifers
Fall born replacement heif-
ers have been (or soon will
be) weaned and will be at a
very critical growing period.
It is important that they grow
at about 1.5 pounds per
day from weaning until the
start of the breeding season.
Currently summer pastures
are green,,growing, and
adequate in protein. content.
However, warm season pas:
tures such as native grass
or bermuda grass can be
expected to be declining in
forage quality in the hot,
dry days of July, August,
and September. Also these
grasses will be reaching
plant maturity which accel—
erates the decline in protein
content.
To expect a very high
percentage (greater than
90%) to be cycling at the
start of the breeding season,
the heifers need to be at least
60% of their mature weight.
Therefore, the young heifers
must receive supplemental
protein to continue to grow
at the necessary pace of
1.5 pounds per head per
day going into their first
breeding season. An eco-
nomical solution would be
to give these heifers 1 pound
per head per day of the
protein supplement called
Oklahoma Gold. This is
an OSU-developed protein
supplement scheme that
consists of a high protein
(38% — 45%) pellet that
contains the label—recom—
mended dosage of one of the
ionophores. IonophOres are
feed additives (monensin or
lasalocid) that improve feed
utilization, inhibit coccidio-
sis, and enhance the onset of
puberty in growing heifers.
Research from Texas A&M
in the 1970’s indicated that
heifers receiving an iono-
phore reached puberty about i
2 weeks earlier than coun—
terparts that did not receive
an ionophore. Inclusion of ,
the ionophore in the grow-
ing program should cause
a few more heifers to be
cycling early in the breeding

season. The Oklahoma Gold
program for stocker cattle
is used in conjunction with
growth promoting implants.
However, do NOT implant
weaned heifers intended for
replacements.
The protein supplement
will allow microbial diges—
tion of the average quality
late summer forage which
in tum provides the energy
needed to support the desired
amount of gain. If forage
quantity is very limited, the
protein supplement alone
will not produce adequate
gains. In this scenario, a
rancher first needs to decide
if keeping more replacement
heifers is really in his or her
best interest.
Light-weight or young,
weaned heifers that need an
added boost while still on
late summer pasture may
benefit more from the Okla-
homa Super Gold supple—
mentation program. “Super
, Gold” consists of feeding 2.5
pounds per head per day of
a 25% crude protein pellet.
Once again, an ionophore
is included at. the proper-
dosage and will be benefi-
ciaI to these young growing
heifers. Supplements such
as Oklahoma Super Gold
can be purchased or man—
ufactured to include antibi-
otics such as aureomycin.
These supplements must be
prescribed by a veterinarian
and have an accompanying
Veterinary Feed Directive in
order to be mixed and fed.
Plan ahead for late summer
supplementation of fall-bom
replacement heifers.
