The recent cold snap which we’ve experienced across the US is something we expect to see with a La Ni\u00f1a, and it won’t surprise me if we see a few more outbreaks of cold air this winter and even into spring as the La Ni\u00f1a diminishes and we go back to neutral conditions. \u00a0You can read more about this in AgWeb<\/em> here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One concern about the cold air is the chance for winter kill with wheat crops across the central US, where temperatures have gotten very cold. \u00a0You can read more about this at Cattle News Network<\/em> here<\/a>\u00a0and in AgWeb<\/em> here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cattle News Network<\/em> also has some information about preparing your herd for cold weather here<\/a>. \u00a0They also provide advice about how to maximize the use\u00a0of hay here<\/a>. \u00a0The least waste (3.3%) comes with a cone feeder.<\/p>\n
