Transport Your Livestock to Their Winter Location in Safety and Comfort

As the year draws to a close, if you are running a livestock operation you probably have already gotten your animals ready for the inclement weather. It’s still not too late if you haven’t yet upgraded your equipment to better handle the current climate, especially if your sheep, goats or cattle are faced with harsh winds and freezes. Moving your animals to winter grounds can help as can having the right equipment on hand to protect your animals from the harsher seasonal elements.

Offering indoor shelter is important as it buffers wind shear and plummeting temperatures all of which can stress your animals, negatively affecting their general health and productivity. Keeping them sheltered and protected relieves stress so they can look, feel and perform their best. Your livestock’s strength is valuable to you, and having sorting, loading and hauling equipment helps ensure they provide you a better bottom line for your business.

As Winter Looms Ahead, Now Is a Good Time To Prepare Your Lambs and Goats for the Winter Lambing and Kidding Season

With fall in full swing, winter is right behind it bringing with it the chilly winter weather. For owners of livestock such as goats and sheep, now is the time to plan ahead and prepare for lambing and kidding season. This is important for your animal’s safety and your own operation’s production goals.

Making sure your livestock maintains productive breeding so mating and birthing can continue on schedule means making sure your animals have easy access to nutritious feed so they can be healthy. For lambing/kidding season (typically September and October) means giving birth five months down the road. Providing the necessary feed to your animals gives the lambs and kids the nutrients they need to ensure survival. Access to good feed lessens potential health problems to ensure they not only survive but thrive. Lambs and goats require the proper facilities to support winter kidding:

  • Good feed
  • Fresh hay
  • Pens with dry
  • Access to animal health care and vaccinations

With the right equipment, you’ll be able to oversee your animals’ health, including checking your does regularly, providing vaccines, seeing that they aren’t plagued by lice or worms and are safely sustained throughout the winter weather. Warm facilities and access to feed help keep them warm by boosting their metabolism for optimal body heat.
