Remove livestock from flood damaged pastures. Provide clean water and clean forage. Flooded forages should not be fed. Cut flooded pasture and hay fields to a 2 to 4-inch stubble height. Don't breathe silt dust, wear a mask. Document amount of lost forage.

Do not make hay from or graze flooded fields until grass has regrown to a height of 8-10 inches.
