Notes: Grain yield and protein concentration were adjusted to 12% moisture content. The average grain moisture content at harvest was 15%. Shaded values are not statistically different from the highest value within a column. Plots were grazed from January 23 to March 12, 2025, at a stocking rate of 320 pounds of animal BW per acre. High weed pressure was observed early in the season. An herbicide application of 16 oz/ac of Axial and 0.2 oz/ac of Ally was made on January 14, 2025. Average weed infestation across the trial was 50%, based on ratings taken on December 10, 2025. The predominant weed species observed was Italian ryegrass. *Due to the drought conditions, plots were not grazed during the 2022-2023 growing season. Therefore, data from three previous years include 2021-2022, 2023-2024, and 2024-2025. Double-dashes"--" = data not available.
