Mike Surbrugg: Area centers field variety of questions



Happy Mother’s Day for this and every day of the year.

Questions answered at county extension centers:

Q: How can I get bumble bees out of rafters in my garage?

A: They may be bumble or carpenter bees. Carpenter bees bore holes in wood. Your county extension center has control details and can recommend a spray when the temperature is cool.

Q: What does CED stand for?

A: Calving Ease Direct, which is a measure of the calving ease among first-calf heifers. The higher the CED number, the more expected calving ease.

Q: What is the most popular garden plant?

A: Tomatoes.

Q: How can I get the financial benefits of Certified Angus Beef (CAB) when I sell my feeder calves?

A: Most returns come when you retain ownership of cattle through processing where the CAB designation comes to qualified beef. An option for you would be to participate in one of several value-added markets. Check cattle breed representatives.

Q: Do musk thistle weevils work?

A: Weevil numbers are building and there could be a decrease in musk thistle numbers in a few years.

Q: Should I feed a grain supplement to grazing steers this summer in the face of higher feed costs?

A: Not when you have quality forages. When needed, use a supplement with an ionophore in the grain to get a better rate of gain.

Q: Do the bullets you hang around mineral feeders for horn fly control really work?
