The primary predictor variable was parent health literacy (Short Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults adequate ≥ 23 low <23). English- and Spanish-speaking parents of 2-month-old children were enrolled (n = 844).

We force them to clean up those piles before we give them the next row.To examine the relationship between parent health literacy and "obesogenic" infant care behaviors.Ĭross-sectional analysis of baseline data from a cluster randomized controlled trial of a primary care-based early childhood obesity prevention program (Greenlight). “Two is cattle are tougher than we give them credit for. For one, I don't consider anything that they leave as waste because it's feeding the soil,” he says. “One big concern people have is waste, and we do not see that at all.
Mansheim acknowledges a major concern that some producers have about bale grazing. READ MORE: Prep for winter feeding with sampling bales for forage quality.Even though this year we were sort of dry, we have increased hay production on this piece of ground about 30 percent in three years, and we do not fertilize it.”
“Wherever those residue piles are after they eat them, the infiltration is just phenomenal there, and the biology – it increases the biology. “It's totally improved the water infiltration, and the cattails are virtually gone off that hay ground in three years. “It was killing the grasses that were there, and then I was getting saline spots, so I knew I had a broken water cycle, and so that is one reason we do it – to improve water infiltration.” “When it got wet, I was noticing all of a sudden we were having these low spots that were turning into cattails and just weeds,” he says. Mansheim also noticed problems with his hay ground in wet years. So, we were actually exporting nutrients from that soil, and the result of that, I was seeing that we were losing hay production.” “I could tell our soil was being degraded because we had been haying this ground for 40 years, and we were bringing it into our yard to feed it, but it never got back to the landscape. That’s why he started bale grazing three years ago. You know, the nitrogen, the phosphorus, the zinc, all the micros,” he says. “When you remove the hay or forage, you're removing all the nutrients. There’s a good reason Mansheim grazes the hay bales on the same land where it was grown – his soil. If the group is 200 head of cattle, they're going to have 20 bales.” “So, if I have 150 head of cattle, it's going to be around 15 bales. “We line them up in rows because we only give the cattle a certain amount of feed – roughly four to five days of feed at a time,” he says. Mansheim places his hay bales in rows on the same land where they were hayed. And then every time we move our fence, about an hour.”
“So that takes roughly about, I would say, eight hours to set up, say, 150 bales – two people. “We set up all the bales before it freezes, usually in late November, early December before the ground freezes, and we take off all the net wrap because we don't want the cows to have to digest that,” Mansheim says.
