In this episode of the Red Dirt Agronomy Podcast, the crew sits down with OSU forage specialist Brian Pugh at the Central Oklahoma Cattle Conference to talk pasture recovery, forage management, and what cattle producers need to rethink in today’s market. The discussion covers why many operations are still stocked for a low-input era that no longer exists, how native and introduced forages recover differently, and why pasture should be managed with the same attention producers give a crop. From resting native grasses after July 10 to rebuilding bermudagrass with fertility, weed control, and reduced pressure, this episode is packed with practical advice for producers trying to balance cattle prices, input costs, and long-term pasture productivity.
