Our objective was to determine the influence of CP supplementation frequency (SF) on cow performance, grazing time, distance traveled, maximum distance from water, cow distribution, DMI, DM digestibility, harvest efficiency (HE), percentage of supplementation events frequented, and CV for supplement intake for cows grazing low-quality forage. One hundred-twenty pregnant (approx....
