California Cool Down

Posted by John Deere Green on Saturday, July 29, 2006 at 9:34PM :

For the past 10 days California Centrol Valley has broken all the heat records. It finally starting to cool down. Having a dairy the heat has taken its toll. My cows are down in milk production by 2.5 gals per cow. I personally did not lose any animals to the heat. I invested in cooling for my milk cows and put my newborns under misters and fans. But, the estiments for death loss for California Dairies is reaching 30,000 cows. We have never experienced this type of heat. The temp at the dairy has reach as high as 123 degrees. My toy shop (power wagon garage) has been over 105 for 10 days. No playing these days. Hope the rest of you survived.
