A note from our Nutrition Department:

As summer approaches a reminder from your JFM nutrition team to keep checking those water sources. The hotter it gets, the more water cattle drink. In 32°C weather water consumption can increase 50-60% compared to 5°C. Be sure to be checking on and cleaning out water bowls and sources frequently.

Summertime also means breeding season for many of our cow-calf producers. A reminder from your JFM nutrition team to make sure your cows have access to a high quality, complete mineral supplement. Trace minerals play a large role in the reproductive health of cattle and help to ensure optimal reproductive success. Our BCMPLUS brood cow mineral contains chelated trace minerals to ensure your cow herd has optimal availability of trace minerals this breeding season and beyond!

The JFM nutrition team would also like to emphasize the importance of good bunk management during warmer weather. Warm weather depresses feed intake, so ensuring cattle have consistent access to feed will minimize average daily gain losses.

Finally, as flies start buzzing around the barns and pastures be sure to inquire about adding Garlic to your mineral, supplements or complete feeds for possible fly reduction this summer.
