Heat Wave




We have been experiencing temperatures well over 90F for the past week or so; which requires more intensive management of the cattle than normal. We do our best to put them in the breeziest, shadiest parts of the pasture, keep their drinking water cold, and spray them with a hose or sprinkler to cool down. Here Neel is carrying an hour old cross-bred heifer calf to the shade (and walking backwards so mom can keep an eye on her calf!). After some help nursing, cow and calf enjoy a much needed rest.
