The impacts of the cold weather experienced in Kansas and surrounding states in early February will not be forgotten anytime soon and will leave lingering effects. The bull battery often does not get close attention during the winter months and some may have lacked adequate bedding or wind protection needed to prevent scrotal frostbite. Older bulls with pendulous scrotums seem more prone to issues than yearling bulls.
Tuesday my phone started going off alerting me of a tornado warning. Soon the fire/tornado whistle started to sound. Then our tornado/storm alert system in our building sounded. It is March and the time when Kansas begins their storm season.
This past week was tornado alert week. We all received the alerts, schools and businesses practiced going to the basement and reviewed what to do if a tornado was coming. All good and important but have you taken the next step? Are you and your home prepared?
