Oklahoma Gold and Oklahoma Super Gold- Both Still High Achivers for Oklahoma Beef Producers

It's a program that has been around since the 1980s- but the results continue to make this one of the best concepts that OSU's Animal Science Department has ever developed. The Oklahoma Gold supplementation program is designed for weaned calves and stocker cattle grazing low quality forage during late-summer and fall.

OSU Beef cattle Specialist Dr. Glenn Selk says that this program, along with the companion Oklahoma Super Gold program, can be a real asset to cow-calf producers who need to get some weight gains on heifers before you breed them for the first time. We talk wtih Selk about this on our latest Beef Buzz radio update as heard on the Radio Oklahoma Network. Click here for a OSU flyer written by a friend from years gone by- Don Gill- on the Oklahoma Gold Program.

The Beef Buzz is a regular feature heard on radio stations around the state on the Radio Oklahoma Network- but is also a regular audio feature found on this website as well.
