During frigid temperatures, ensuring that cattle have access to fresh water is essential for their health, according to beef specialist Travis Meteer. He emphasizes that the water situation can become particularly challenging in winter months, making it vital for farmers and ranchers to prioritize this aspect of cattle care.
Meteer notes that stagnant water sources, such as ponds, may freeze over, and automatic waterers can also malfunction in extreme cold. Therefore, it is crucial to provide flowing water to prevent dehydration and maintain the overall well-being of the herd. Cattle can suffer from various health issues if they do not drink enough water, which can lead to decreased productivity and increased veterinary costs.
Farmers are encouraged to regularly check water sources and ensure that they remain accessible and functional during harsh weather conditions. By taking these proactive measures, cattle owners can help safeguard their livestock's health and productivity throughout the winter season.
