[QUOTE="RDFF, post: 1795138, member: 39018"] Djm, where you at? Put your location in your information so we all know... helps with suggestions we might choose to give. CONTEXT... I have some shade available when necessary... but I'm in SE MN... so if it' just a really bad day, I try to allow the cattle to find some woods... but most days, they don't need it. Best way to deal with it IMO is to use genetics that will be able to handle it... I'm not too crazy about the "portable shade systems".... you're always going to kill the pasture underneath 'em anytime you put them out. If they don't have shade, they "generally" won't bunch up near as much (until the flies are bothering them bad!). In the woods, they'll kill everything underneath too... but at least you can consider that a single, designated "sacrifice area" kind of. With the portable shades, EVERYTHING is gonna be a "sacrifice area". And then when the first big wind comes along, they can also become "scrap iron" pretty fast. [/QUOTE]
