Summer stress doesn’t just show up on the thermometer. It shows up in reduced gains, lower milk production, lower conception rates, and animals spending more time fighting flies than grazing. 🪰🔥
Heat and insects are a dangerous duo; when they pair up, sheep and goats pay the price.
From ticks and mosquitoes to stable flies and heat load, our team created a blog that breaks down:
