TechMix Tip 🐄

One thing I’ve learned is that calves don’t always tell you when they’re stressed, at least not right away.
I was always taught to watch for the little things. A calf that hangs back, doesn’t use drinking as aggressively, or just looks a little off. None of these seem like a big deal on their own, but that’s usually where it starts.

If you miss those signs, that’s when they begin to fall behind.

I’m a big believer in staying ahead of it instead of chasing it. Keep water clean and easy to find, handle them as calmly as possible, and give them support early, before they really need it.

Because with calves, it’s never just one bad day. It’s a bunch of small things adding up. And I’d rather stay ahead of that than try to catch up later.

Earth Day is a good reminder of how connected agriculture is to the land. 🌎

Farmers and producers see firsthand how connected animal care and the environment really are.

From managing feed and water to caring for livestock and land, the daily decisions made on farms help support both animal health and the resources agriculture depends on.

Hot weather + handling = calves losing hydration faster than you think.

Sorting.
Loading.
Shipping.

Even short handling events create stress, and stress can quickly reduce water intake and appetite.

That makes it harder for calves to recover and get back on feed.

Supporting hydration before and after handling helps calves bounce back faster and stay performing.

Water demand rises quickly in the heat.

Cattle may drink 2–3× more water during hot weather than they do in cooler conditions.

If tank space, flow rate, or access is limited, cattle may not be able to meet that increased demand.

Ensuring adequate water access helps maintain hydration, feed intake, and performance during heat events.

Do calves need their own heat stress chart? Calves are not just small cows.

Most heat stress charts are designed for adult cattle, but calves have different physiology, metabolism, and housing environments.

That means they can start feeling the effects of heat sooner than many producers expect.

Heat stress in calves can show up as reduced appetite, dehydration, and performance changes before temperatures seem extreme.

It raises an important question: should calves have their own heat stress guidelines?

You know you're in ag if…

• You check the weather 14 times a day.
• You know exactly how many gallons your water tank holds.
• You can spot one animal acting “off” from across the pen.
• You start chore time by looking at water intake.
• You talk about temperature, humidity, and wind like a meteorologist.

Life in agriculture means paying attention to the details that keep animals healthy and performing.

Today is a reminder of the animals that make agriculture possible every day.

From early mornings in the barn to late nights checking pens, farmers and producers put in the work to care for their livestock and keep them healthy and performing.

Farm animals play a vital role in feeding communities, supporting farms, and sustaining agriculture.

Today we celebrate the animals and the people who care for them.

When temperatures rise, hydration becomes more than just drinking water.

Animals also lose key electrolytes that help regulate hydration throughout the body.

Without electrolyte balance, water alone may not fully support hydration, recovery, or performance during heat stress.

Understanding hydration as more than just water helps producers better support animals as temperatures climb. https://www.techmixglobal.com/knowledge-center/redefining-hydration-its-more-than-just-salt-sugar-and-potassium/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=dairy_electrolytes&utm_content=fb_april26

What’s your heat stress threshold?

At what temperature do you start thinking about heat stress prevention in your herd?

☀️ 70°F
☀️ 80°F
☀️ 90°F
☀️ Or do you watch THI instead of temperature?

Heat stress can begin earlier than many producers expect, especially as humidity climbs.
