Today's Recommendation

**Protect your cattle tonight and Sunday night** — with lows hitting 27-28°F both nights, make sure newborn calves and any recently worked cattle have access to windbreaks or shelter before sundown. Live cattle futures are up strong at $246.20/cwt (+2.8%), so healthy animals heading into next week puts you in a good position if you're looking to move any finished cattle soon.
