NDSU's Extension veterinarian urges people to protect themselves and their animals against rabies.

Testing bulls for breeding soundness now could reduce the number of open cows later.

Producers need to understand the potential risks of nitrate toxicity.

Some forages may contain levels of nitrate that are toxic to livestock.

Salts, minerals and bacteria may have compromised the quality of water in ponds and dugouts.

Some forage may be low in nutritional value and high in nitrate.

Poor water quality can impact livestock health.

Choosing a date for the hay harvest depends on many factors.
