Farmers preparing cattle for long winter ahead

With Door and Kewaunee County farmers reflecting on a successful fall harvest and planning for 2022, dairy operators are focused on keeping their cows and calves on healthy diets. Rich Olson of Olson Family Farm in southern Door County says livestock must be well supplied with water and food.

 

 

Olson adds extra nutrition is needed during extreme frigid weather conditions as cattle will use up more energy and calories to stay warm.  Calves are fitted with calf jackets that help maintain their body heat to endure through the cold winter months.
