[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1032148, member: 12607"] chippie, I grew up in south Alabama - I know heat and humidity. TB is right - misting is a problem - larger droplet size is preferable; you want to wet the animal, not create fog. And yes, I mis-spoke when I typed 'misting' in my previous response - 'sprinkling' is more appropriate. Elanco has a nice heat abatement document here: [url=http://www.elanco.us/pdfs/usdbunon00147_heat_guide.pdf]http://www.elanco.us/pdfs/usdbunon00147_heat_guide.pdf[/url] It's aimed at dairy production, but the mechanics - and to a large degree, the physiology of heat stress, would be the same for beef cattle.
