Abstract

As our livestock herd heavily depends on forages, maintaining safe pastures and hay is essential after a weather event. Start by walking through the fields to check for wind damage and remove any debris, like branches or trash, that could harm your animals. Every strange object needs to be removed. Make sure your pastures are clear before turning livestock in to graze. It can prevent animals from being hurt or ingesting materials such as plastic that may lead to death.
