How to Increase Water Access for Feedlot Cattle in Hot Weather From an article in Feedlot Magazine by Alfredo DiCostanzo, Nebraska Extension Educator Article excerpts: “The use of shades in feedlots has made a big difference in the effects of heat on fat cattle, but a few other strategies can help keep cattle cool, enabling cattle to keep gaining, even in the dog days of summer. Cattle nearing the end of their feeding period should be given priority when deploying heat abatement strategies. Extra space for cattle to access water should be added to all pens, but particularly to those of cattle near harvest. The issue is not water supply, it is water access. Cattle behavior changes to promote cooling off—boss cattle remain at the water tank longer than necessary to drink, simply playing with water or enjoying a cooler microclimate. This can result in less dominate cattle not getting a fair opportunity to drink and ultimately overheating.” Link to full article: https://lnkd.in/gr8kaFnr

Cattle on Feed again! Hello Friends. So another cattle on feed is this Friday. To review: This gives us 3 numbers of interest 1. placed 2. marketed 3. On Feed. In short, supply vs. demand. Since our last report, cattle prices are higher. We are getting into the winter delivery months. The cattle go out to pasture and must survive the long cold winter. A lot is left up to mother nature. And she has not been nice this year overall. I just posted an article summarizing the affect of the dryness across the country in the "non-winter" states. The supply side of the equation is concerning. So what if this report has greater demand and smaller supply? Lets watch to see.
