Brrr! π₯Ά itβs cold out there! I hope everyone is staying safe and prepared for this upcoming snow storm, but more importantly for the cold this week. βοΈ
Be sure to stock up on shavings, straw, hay & grain for your livestock! β
As the temperatures drop, increase hay & water consumption for our equine π΄π« & ruminant πππ friends is so important!
π₯Lets keep those internal furnaces burningπ₯
When able offer warm water with added electrolytes to encourage drinking. Having loose livestock grade salt freely available is also a great way to encourage more water consumption.
Make sure they have access to a clean shelter, with extra bedding. Straw is an excellent insulator so take advantage of that! When bedding down your livestock shelters putting a base layer of shavings and topping off with straw will make for very cozy sheep and/or goats. Stay safe and stay sane!
