Taking the bite out of cold-weather livestock care

Strategies for keeping calves warm and healthy

By
Glacier FarmMedia – The youngest calves on the farm are the most sensitive to temperature changes and, in the case of a turn toward colder weather, producers can have problems managing morbidity, mortality and suboptimal growth rates, said Sarah Morrison.

Prairie forecast: Winter temperatures moving in

Issued Jan. 03, covering: Jan. 3 – 10

By ,
Looking at this forecast period, the best way I can describe it is that we will be seeing a slow slide into more seasonal temperatures. The persistent upper-level ridging that brought warm--and record warm temperatures--to much of the prairies in December has broken down. The weather models are showing a trough of low pressure developing over the west coast over the next seven days.

Manitoba’s hail numbers in for 2023

Although worse than recent years, MASC says 2023 claim numbers were not disastrous

By
Manitoba’s final hail claim count was above the five-year average, but it’s not as serious as expected earlier this year. In mid-December, the Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation reported 1,587 payable claims worth about $33.6 million for the 2023 season. Why it matters: Early hail concerns tapered off as the season ticked over into late summer. That number

Prairie forecast: Mild and dry weather right up to the holidays

Issued Dec. 13, covering Dec. 13 to Dec. 25

By ,
Here is the big picture: there are two current storm tracks across North America. The first, which is well to our north, is the storm track that would normally be across our region. So far this winter, it has been displaced to our north – one of the reasons we have been dry. The second storm track is well to the south across the southern U.S. This places us under a rather slack flow as we oscillate between pushes of warm and cool air with each passage of low-pressure to our north.

Prairie forecast: Average to above average temperatures to continue

Issued Dec. 6, covering Dec. 6 to Dec. 13

By ,
With no big storm system impacting our region, the weather models have been doing a good job with the forecasts over the last few weeks. As we start to move closer and closer towards the middle of winter, the longer we can keep the warm air around, the shorter we can hope winter will be. With that said, here is what the big picture is looking like over the next seven or so days.

The last forecast played out pretty close to what the weather models were predicting, with one small deviation: temperatures ended up being about 2 to 4 C warmer than forecasted. This will be something to keep in mind as we look at this week’s forecast. The forecast is looking rather quiet for this time of
