[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 674259, member: 3162"] Heat stress/stroke killed some angus cows belonging to a young couple getting in the cow business. They called me I tried not to be critical but they have no business running cold climate cattle in Texas to begin with. The feed they were using was way too hot (too high of protein) for current temperatures. They have one pair left and I told them where to get 9% protein feed for that cow. The calves are old enough to make it. They have shade for the cows. When I got back home there was a news story coming out of Nebraska where cows were dying from heat stress. Here's a link to that story: [url=http://new.khastv.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=17665&storytopic=4]http://new.khastv.com/modules/news/arti ... orytopic=4[/url] If you are running cold climate cattle get them off of the high protein feed until the heat wave brakes. If you are going to feed them, 9% all grain is the best thing you can do for them right now. [/QUOTE]
