Technical Abstract: Annual forages grown in western Nebraska were evaluated for their feed value for cattle. Included in the forages evaluated were spring sown cereals and legumes including barley, oats, triticale, peas, soybeans, and vetch. Also evaluated were summer annuals including forage sorghums, sudangrass, pearl millet, and foxtail millet. When the annual grass-type forages were harvested after seed heads had emerged, crude protein concentration was more than 8% and total digestible nutrients (TDN) was more than 63% of dry matter. Annual legumes had 12 to 18% crude protein concentration and more than 63% TDN. These results indicate that these forages if properly managed could provided substantial portions of diets for growing beef cattle, dry or lactating beef cows, and growing or mature bulls.
