**Bring your cattle in from open pastures today before that storm system moves through** — with severe weather indicators flagged, a 67% chance of rain Wednesday and temps dropping to 39°F overnight into Thursday, wet and cold conditions are a real stress risk for livestock, especially calves. This is also a good time to check that your corrals and windbreaks are solid, since Live Cattle prices are already down 2.6% and you don't want weather losses adding to that pressure.
