The Iowa State University Extension and Outreach beef veterinarian Grant Dewell has these reminders for cattle producer. For feedlot cattle, hot temps for consecutive days mean increased risk for heat stress.  Avoid working cattle this weekend, expect feed intake to drop and consider bumping the forage up. Mitigation strategies such as shade and sprinklers should be available. Relevant info can be found at www.iowabeefcenter.org.
