Maximizing Agricultural Efficiency: The Advantages of Rotational Grazing
Rotational grazing offers numerous benefits for sustainable farming. By moving livestock between paddocks according to a strategic schedule, farmers allow forage crops to rejuvenate, replenish energy reserves, and enhance plant vigor, leading to long-term maximum production. The key to a successful rotational grazing system lies in its flexibility. Utilizing a highly-movable temporary fence and understanding its proper use are crucial for maximizing the benefits and maintaining an efficient grazing routine.

CHINA BLOCKS JBS USA BEEF EXPORTS OVER RACTOPAMINE TRACES
According to the Meating Place, the Chinese government has halted beef exports from the JBS USA facility in Greeley, Colorado, according to the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). The export block is reportedly due to detected traces of the feed additive ractopamine.
While ractopamine is deemed safe for use in the United States, it is banned or restricted in China and 160 other countries. In response, JBS issued a statement indicating they are “working diligently with U.S. and Chinese authorities to resolve the situation as soon as possible.”
FSIS has also confirmed that it is conducting its own investigation into the matter. FSIS provided further details in a statement to Reuters: "China customs detected ractopamine in a batch of frozen beef omasum products exported to China from these establishments and destroyed this batch of products in accordance with their regulations."
In addition to the JBS USA facility, China has also blocked meat products from Cool Port Oakland, a cold storage facility in California.
CDC REPORTS THIRD U.S. CASE OF HIGHLY PATHOGENIC AVIAN INFLUENZA IN HUMANS
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has confirmed the third case of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in humans within the country. This latest case marks the second occurrence in Michigan. While the three cases are unrelated, they all involve dairy farm workers exposed to infected cows, suggesting probable cow-to-person transmission.
Notably, this most recent case is the first in the U.S. to present typical influenza-like symptoms, according to the CDC. The CDC is closely monitoring influenza data and reports no unusual activity or increased emergency room visits. The risk to the general public remains low, as all cases involve direct contact with infected cows. However, the CDC stresses the importance of precautions for individuals in contact with infected animals, as their risk is significantly higher.
The affected worker is receiving treatment with oseltamivir and is recovering in isolation. Household contacts are symptom-free and are being monitored. Initial tests confirmed the presence of the influenza A(H5) virus, with further analysis ongoing.
The CDC advises farmworkers to use personal protective equipment (PPE) and adhere to health monitoring protocols. Avoiding unprotected exposure to sick animals, their waste, and related materials is crucial, the agency emphasized.
U.S. DAIRY FARMERS BREED BEEFIER CALVES TO OFFSET COSTS AMID LOW CATTLE NUMBERS
With U.S. beef cattle numbers at their lowest since 1961, dairy farmers are increasingly breeding calves for meat to offset costs, reports Bloomberg. By using beef bull semen to inseminate dairy cows, farmers produce hybrid calves that are meatier and fetch higher prices, providing a valuable income stream amid fluctuating milk prices.
