As the U.S. sizzles under sweltering summer heat, those hoping for a cool fall may be out of luck. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Climate Prediction Center released its latest three-month outlook for August, September and October.

Every cow/calf producer aspires for calves to gain weight efficiently. Some producers have discovered that a creep system, particularly creep grazing, is a promising way to achieve this goal. Creep grazing, in particular, has the potential to significantly increase calf weight gain, offering a ray of hope for producers. It’s important to note that both methods, creep grazing and creep feeding a concentrate supplement, have their own set of advantages and disadvantages. Hence, it’s crucial for the producer to research and choose the method that best suits their needs.

Saturday was a hot and humid day, but some showers and storms cooled many locations back down during the afternoon or evening. Even before the cooling rain arrived, temperatures only warmed into the upper 80s and low 90s. Not bad for late July. While showers lingered into the evening, they fade away overnight. Meanwhile, the sky remains partly to mostly cloudy with lows in the low to mid 70s.
