Livestock Comfort
It is spring (soon to be summer) here in British Columbia, and with the sunny season comes warmth. But while it is pleasant outside now it can also become unbearably hot. The heat of summer or lack of it during winter can dramatically affect the productivity of your livestock operation. It is for this reason I thought this month I would explore the role of temperature plans when it comes to livestock farming.
