Timely Resources for Livestock Producers

The lack of rain right now and high temperatures have already affected some pastures in the area.  It got me thinking about issues related to summer, potential drought and having enough forage for your animals.  Practice rotational grazing as best you can, rest your pastures, decrease your stocking rate per acre if you can, and is it time to sell some cattle (prices are high!).  Take a look at a few publications and resources that I think are timely if you have livestock.

Let me know if you have questions or need help.

Forage-Drought-related publications

No predictions yet, but be prepared for drought.  The last few years in the fall months have been bad.  We need rain now as well.
