100 | Management Flexibility: Why Helping Too Much Hurts Your Livestock

from Goat Wise | Meat Goats, Feeding Goats, Goat Fencing, Livestock Management · host Millie Bradshaw - Animal Scientist, Rancher, Homesteader

Hi friends! Today I'm talking about something we dealt with last week right here on the ranch, managing livestock through an absolutely abnormal winter with weather that can’t make up its mind. I'll share what we did when our night pens turned into a muddy disaster with no dry ground anywhere, why we made the decisions we did, and why sometimes the best thing you can do for your animals is resist the urge to do too much. Let's get to it.   Mention: 31 | Are Winter Heat Lamps Bad for Chickens?
