GOOD MORNING EVERYONE! MORE HEAT EXPECTED OVER THE 5 DAYS HERE IN WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI AND BROWNFIELD REMINDED CATTLE FARMERS THAT MOST CATTLE IN THE MIDWEST ARE BRED FOR COOLER CLIMATES. SO ANYTIME IT GETS ABOVE 75, 80 DEGREES, CATTLE IS DEALING WITH HEAT STRESS. WITH THE TEMPERATURES WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN LAST WEEK AND THIS WEEK, THAT CAN CAUSE SOME PRETTY SEVERE STRESS ON THEM. THEIR WATER CONSUMPTION GOES UP 2 TO 3 TIMES THE NORMAL AND JUST LIKE HUMANS, THE MAIN COOLING MECHANISM IS SWEATING AS WELL AS PANTING. SO IT TAKES ALOT OF WATER TO REPLACE THAT. I AM STILL EXPECTING A BIT OF A COOL OFF AT THE VERY END OF THE MONTH AND STAY JUST A TAD BELOW AVERAGE IN TEMPS THROUGH THE 4TH HOLIDAY. AS FAR AS RAINFALL, WE ONLY HAVE ISOLATED CHANCES FROM TODAY THROUGH AROUND THE 4TH OF JULY. THEN WE HAVE A MORE SUBSTANTIAL SYSTEM THAT WILL PUSH THIS RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OFF TO THE EAST AND BRING IN BETTER CHANCES OF MOISTURE OVER A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME. WE WILL TAKE A LOOK AT THE LRC FOR THE MONTH OF JULY AND WHAT WE CAN EXPECT HERE IN AREA WITH TEMPERATURES AND RAINFALL TOMORROW IN OUR BLOG. I WILL LEAVE YOU ALL WITH OUR EXCLUSIVE AG METEOGRAM FOR WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI. HAVE A GREAT WEEK! SUBBY
