Develop good herd health and vaccination strategies to minimize losses.

Bad weather and poor cow nutrition are the leading causes of weak calf syndrome.

The timing of calving, the dam's age, and forage quality and availability determine the most appropriate feeding strategy.

Producers may need to think outside of their traditional feeding strategy.

Installing a water development project may be the answer to drought-related livestock water shortages.

Test water quality prior to livestock turnout.

Now is the time to be protecting calves' health with vaccinations.

Producers may see a reduction in forage production on their pastures and rangeland.

Severe frostbite or other injuries that occurred in March may be affecting bulls now.

Planting summer annual forage crops could be an option where moisture is adequate for emergence or rain still may come.
