Abstract
ABSTRACT This research was conducted over 4 consecutive years (2010 to 2014) to investigate the effects of tillage system [no-till (NT) vs. conventional tillage (CONV)] and NT with a summer legume cover crop (NTCC) on forage production and performance of growing steers in a continuous wheat pasture cropping system on 18, 1.6-ha dedicated wheat fields (n = 6 fields per establishment method). Soybean forage production averaged 2,034 ± 346.2 kg of DM/ha in July. Cover crops were grazed for an average of 33 ± 2.4 d, with ADG averaging 0.62 ± 0.28 kg/d and total gain per hectare averaging 108 ± 24.4 kg/ha. Although, forage mass was less (P
