No, but sure is getting steady HOT! Been giving bottle calves xtra water via bottle, they are downing from2-4 qts water on top of their 3 qts of milk! Baby chicks, 2 days old and I have to put a bottle of ice in for them to keep cooled off!

Thousands died last year in feedlots from the heat. I'd guess it's already started this year. We just haven't heard about it yet.

I don't doubt it. I'd bet they're also dropping fast in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and anywhere else that has the bigger lots that feed thousands at a time. Only so much they can do with those numbers and this kind of heat.

A lot of wild deer are abandoning fawns in an attempt to survive....I know I have buzzards sitting "under" the trees down by the stock tanks...sittin' in the cool and drinking water.
