He also discusses his Cattle Comfort Index, a tool he is developing to help cattle feeders and cow-calf producers to manage heat stress on cattle and give producers better opportunity to prepare. In addition, Matt explores the history of the New World screwworm and explains what temperatures and environments NWS thrives in. Plus, hear from our partners Rabo AgriFinance and Ritchie.
