Winter Care for Akaushi Cattle: Essential Tips

Learn how we prepare our full-blood Akaushi heifers for the Texas winter months, including nutrition adjustments, shelter considerations, and health monitoring protocols.

Nutrition Adjustments

As temperatures drop, our cattle require additional calories to maintain body condition. We gradually increase feed rations and supplement with high-quality hay to ensure our Akaushi maintain their exceptional marbling characteristics even during the coldest months.

Shelter Considerations

While Akaushi cattle are remarkably hardy, providing adequate windbreaks and shelter is essential. Our facilities are designed to offer protection from harsh weather while maintaining the open-range environment that keeps our cattle calm and content.

Health Monitoring

Winter brings unique health challenges. Our team conducts daily health checks, monitoring for respiratory issues and ensuring all cattle maintain proper hydration. Prevention is always our priority.
