Farmers across the northern plains brace for a widespread arctic outbreak, set to bring some of winter’s coldest temperatures yet. With peak cold scheduled for this weekend, preparation continues to protect livestock.

A little more protein and a little more capability for them cattle to stay warm,” Lease states.
