Join us to learn how to use the Cattle Comfort Advisor, a powerful now tool for managing livestock comfort. Cattle are susceptible to heat and cold stress. In the worst case situations, extreme heat or cold can cause animal fatalities. In less extreme conditions, heat or cold can increase an animal’s susceptibility to disease, negatively impact reproduction, or decrease animal gain. To put numbers to cattle heat and cold stress, a new National Cattle Comfort Advisor has been developed. This tool is updated hourly and provides vital data to cattle producers across the country to help insure high quality beef and dairy production.
