A cattle producer for more than 40 years, Roland Rust, 62, saw something in mid-July he’d never seen before and it made him feel sick.
“The cattle were pacing. I’d never seen them do that before. We knew this wasn’t going to be good,” says Rust, of the ex-treme heat this season which claimed more than 550-head of his fat cattle.
Beginning the early morning of July 17, Rust worked tirelessly to try and cool his cattle off. By the time he witnessed the first of his cattle die, he and his neighbors had already tried every-thing they could think of to cool his cattle down, but to no avail.
“It’s a helpless feeling,” says the Estelline feedlot owner.
July Heat Wave Devastates Feedlot Producers

Ben Holland, SDSU Extension beef feedlot specialist, encourages feedlot owners to watch the forecast and begin preparing for an extreme heat event at least two days before its scheduled.

Rust is not alone. Feedlot owners across northeastern South Dakota lost an estimated 2,500 head of cattle during the three-day extreme heat event — July 17, 18 and 19 — says Russ Daly, South Dakota State University Extension veterinarian.
A veterinarian for more than 20 years, Daly says the weather event was unlike anything he and most feedlot owners had ever experienced.
The heat index peaked between 115 and 120 degrees those three days. There was little to no air movement, and temperatures didn’t drop at night. Daly says it was more than some fat cattle could handle.
“They didn’t have a chance to cool off at night,” Daly says. “Fat cattle are the population that is at the most risk because they have more insulating fat on their body which tends to decrease the body’s ability to dissipate heat.”
When the temperatures reach these extremes, Daly says unless producers have systems in place to cool their cattle down – such as sprinklers, temporary shade, and additional water sources – there’s not much they can do once cattle begin to succumb to heat stroke.
State climatologist, Dennis Todey says record high dew points are to blame for the deadly conditions.
“Dew point values in the northeastern
part of the state were above 80. If they weren’t the highest dew points recorded, they were close to it,” Todey says.
He further explains that dew point is an absolute measurement of moisture. It does not depend on the temperature, like humidity which increases when the temperature drops.
“When the dew point is above 80 it’s a serious situation. Dew points above 80 are not common much of anywhere,” Todey says.
Like any natural disaster, feedlot owners had no way of knowing how bad things
would get, says Darrell Kemnitz, a nutrition consultant for Cenex Har-vest States. Five feedlots he works with near Pierre experienced cattle losses.
“It’s one of those events we haven’t seen in this area. Until you’ve experienced something like this, you can’t imagine it can be so bad. Once cattle get dehydrated, you can’t turn a switch and get them
hydrated,” Kemnitz says. “I want people to understand that this
happened to good producers.”
Producers like Rust who experienced losses during the natural disaster qualify for reimbursement through the Farm Service Agency Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP).
The program reimburses producers up to 75 percent of the market value of the lost livestock, explains John Anderson, district director for northeast South Dakota FSA.
“LIP reimburses producers for losses in livestock due to any type of natural disaster — like extreme heat or blizzard — that is beyond a producer’s control,” Anderson says.
Livestock owners must contact the FSA, and their losses must be verified within 30 days of the event. Anderson urges producers to contact their local FSA office immediately so the verification process can begin.
“We need to verify losses before produc-ers dispose of carcasses. Many are bury-ing them because the rendering trucks can’t keep up. If they bury them and no one sees them, then the producer can’t be reimbursed,” Anderson says.
Livestock can also be verified by a third-party, through dated photographs, and
a rendering receipt. The program ends September 30.
Moving forwardEven though it’s the cattle losses that make headlines, Daly says the industry needs to turn its focus to the more than 200,000 head of cattle on feed which survived the extreme heat and take note.
“Fortunately most of the cattle in our state came through the heat stress. This credit is due to the livestock owners who pulled out all the stops to cool the animals down,” Daly says.
Feedlot animals housed in pens with sprinkler systems in place – which pro-vide water droplets not mist - and those housed in hoop barns and monoslope barns seemed to manage the heat stress best.

Wetting down pens, adding extra tanks of water – cattle need access to about two gallons of water each hour during extreme heat – and even applying a thin layer of wet straw to the pen floor were all strategies that provided relief to the cattle.
All strategies work best if they are applied a few days in advance of an extreme heat event says Ben Holland, SDSU Extension beef feedlot specialist.
“Keep track of the forecast, and start the strategies a few days before a dangerous hot spell,” Holland says. “These strategies not only prevent losses, but some data shows these things improve performance during hot weather in general.”
Holland adds that producers may notice that cattle which survived the recent heat stress may react by cut-ting back on their feed intake. He says producers need to gradually increase their daily ration.
“Don’t overshoot cattle. They may back off feed even
more,” Holland says.
To reduce cattle aggression at the feed bunk, he sug-gests supplementing grain with a loose layer of hay.
“This can help satisfy the cattle and slow their aggres-sion,” Holland says.
To reduce the risk of cattle going off feed during another extreme heat event, Kemnitz encourages producers to consider supplementing their feed ration a hydrating feed supplement, like Hydro-Lac, which provides electrolytes to cattle and encourages them to increase their water intake.
“It’s like Gatorade for cattle,” says Kemnitz.

Russ Daly, SDSU Extension veterinarian says feedlot owners across northeastern South Dakota lost an esti-mated 2,500 head of cattle during the three-day extreme heat event July 17, 18 and 19.

Asking Questions Leads to New Management
Practices
Story & photos by Lura Roti, for Land & Livestock
Around the Arhart farm, ruts are for tires – not management strategies says Andrew Arhart,
37, who farms with his dad, LaVerne, and brother, Jonathan, near Alpena, S.D.
“We have so many more options when we’re willing to ask, ‘what can I do differ-ently?”
Operating a diverse farming operation, the Arharts farm 1,100-acres of wheat, corn and soybeans; manage 1,900-acres
of pastureland; operate a 250-head cow/calf herd; an 800-head feedlot; and finish 11,000 hogs each year.
They frequently question management practices used in every aspect of their farming operation. However, asking ques-tions have had the greatest impact on the family’s cattle operation.
Implementing new technology to improve their herd has been part of their livestock operation since its beginning says Arhart.
Andrew Arhart, 37, farms with his dad, LaVerne, and brother, Jonathan, near Alpena, S.D. The family farms with the philosophy of doing more with less.

“We’ve always been pretty progressive. Dad and his brother, LeRoy, were one of the first producers in South Dakota to use artificial insemination – we’ve been AIing for almost 50 years on our place,” says Arhart, adding that the family embraced ultrasound technology in 1995 to monitor carcass quality.
What began as a way to select breeding stock based on carcass quality, turned into a way to receive marketing premiums.
“Now that we’ve been ultrasounding for 16 years, our quality grades have really moved up,” he says. “We expect our cattle to marble when they are yield grade twos so we can sell them early and target premiums for leanness and grade. We can confidently put together a load of cattle and market on a grid to pick up an additional $25 to $50 a head premium.”
His wife, Melissa, took what the family learned and runs a sideline ultrasound business helping area feedlot operators grid market their cattle and monitor when they should harvest their fat cattle to maximize profits.
“We can ultrasound the cattle at re-implanting and know when they are ready to sell much more accurately than eyeballing them. If a feedlot can sell finished cattle three weeks earlier than they planned, they save quite a bit on inputs,” he says.
Arhart met Melissa at a cattle sale. After she joined the family farming operation, she encouraged Arhart to take a different approach to cattle handling, based on what she had learned from Dr. Tom Noffsinger, a feedlot vet-erinarian from Nebraska. He says her suggestions, along with Dr. Noffsinger guidance, changed the way they manage their herd and reduced the need for extra labor.
“We’d been married a couple years and all of us were running ragged. We thought that if we were going to move forward with this many livestock we’d need to hire some additional help. She said that if we took a step back and learned how to move cattle, we’d only need one person,” he recalls. “She was right.”
Arhart says the traditional methods the family had been
using — herding cattle by forcing them to their destina-tion or through the facilities was a lot of work. Now his stockmanship skills encourage trust and allow him to move cattle and check for illnesses alone — even when most of his feedlot animals are out grazing.
“Learning how to work our cattle has changed the way we do things,” he says. “Today we can go into the pasture on horseback and make the cattle walk by us to check for pink eye, or I can walk right up to a calf and tag it in the pasture because they trust us.”
Using a feedlot differently Arhart says the family farm is able to support three fami-lies because they’ve learned to do more with the resources they have. Instead of increasing the number of acres they farm, the men decided to get into the hog business and expand their cattle operation by maximizing forage production on their grassland.
Even when the hog markets are down, Arhart says the hog operation pays for itself by providing an abundant supply of organic nutrients they apply on their crop acres.
They maximize forage production through intensive
grazing and encouraging species diversity. When they do buy land, they avoid bidding wars by purchasing land that is enrolled in federal grassland easements, and can only be used for grazing or hunting.
“By intensively managing our grassland we can run more cattle and we don’t need more grain,” Arhart says.
When there is a surplus of available grass, they turn their feedlot cattle out to graze —using their feedlot the last 100 to 120 days.
“I use my feedlot differently these days,” he says. “Before I was in a rut, I would buy the cattle, put them in the feedlot and sell them in March. Now if I know I’ll have a lot of grass, I’ll look for cattle that I can hold and not put a lot of inputs into. I can always feed my grain to the pigs.”
About eight years ago Arhart began working with forage specialists to increase the species diversity in his pastures.
“Everyone talks about site-specific farming and using grid sampling on crop acres, I manage my grassland the same way,” he says. “I began working with Millborn Seeds to develop blends that will work in my pastures. When you turn a cow out on a pasture with a lot of diversity, if they won’t eat one species, they will eat some-thing else.”
He extends his grazing season with cover crops, and this summer temporarily converted cropland he was unable to plant due to excess moisture, to a late-season forage he recently hayed.
“Since it was too wet to plant wheat in some fields this year, I planted beardless barley late spring. I just har-vested it and got 2.5 tons per acre,” says Arhart, who after haying the barley hay, planted a cover crop mixture of oats and turnips on the same ground. “Those are ir-rigated acres, so I can plant, give the cover crops a shot of water and I’m assured a second crop that I will graze this fall.”
“Because we don’t need as much grain these days, we have created more opportunities on our grassland.”
I began working with Millborn Seeds to develop blends that will work in my pastures. When you turn a cow out on a pasture with a lot of diversity, if they won’t eat one species, they will eat something else.

him a letter encouraging him to get into the honey business, he decided to give it a try.
“The letter read, ‘I can’t sell chickens or meat, but I’m selling honey.’ So he be-gan selling honey to anyone he could,’” shares Bret of the family legacy that he, his brother Kevin and nephews continue today. “Grandpa said that although the family had food to eat, there were times when they needed to buy shoes for the kids. That’s how we got into bees.”
The family got serious about honey pro-duction in 1958 when Richard purchased a honey farm in Bruce from a retiring beekeeper. Today, three generations of Adees operate the family-owned wholesale honey business which employs 50 people year-round and sells honey by the semi load
to packinghouses across the nation and Europe.
Drive down Main Street in Bruce and it is obvious that the rural community’s largest employer is appreciated. Yellow banners with smiling cartoon bees hang from street lamps and flyers promoting Bruce’s Honey Days are everywhere.
Although Bruce is home to Adee Honey Farms headquarters, the business keeps Adee and his family on the move.
During the summers Adee’s bee hives are spread out on farms and ranches across South Dakota, southern North Dakota, Minnesota and Nebraska. As winter ap-proaches, his hives are trucked to the deserts of California. In early spring, the bees are moved from the desert to California almond groves for contract pollination. Then, half are trucked down south for queen rearing
and the remaining bees are trucked to Wash-ington fruit orchards where growers contract with Adee Honey Farms to use their bees for pollination.
Again comparing beekeeping to cattle production, Adee says, like cattle shipped to feedlots in Oklahoma or Texas, bees over-winter better in warmer climates.
“Just like it takes more corn to keep cattle gaining weight in the northern climates. We’ve found it more profitable to move bees south so we can take more honey,” he says.
New Conservation Reserve Program good for bees
Honey is in high demand, says Adee, explaining that demand for honey in the United States far exceeds supply.
According to Adee, 150 million pounds of honey are produced each year in the U.S. however U.S. consumption of honey is close to 400 million pounds.
Adee says the biggest challenge Adee Honey Farms faces is finding homes for their hives.
When placing hives, Adee looks for areas where his bees have access to a diversity of forage options. Flowers are bees’ lifeblood, quality forage results in abundant honey production. Due to intensive spraying of thistle throughout the Midwest, Adee says locating quality forage is not an easy task.
“In our fight against thistle, we’ve gotten rid of a lot of wild plants and legumes that used to grow wild in ditches, on the prairie and wastelands,” he says, recalling the days when pastures were full of wild clover, alfalfa and vetch. “Today, the most abundant forage for bees is alfalfa and soybeans — that’s only two pollens. It’s like the difference between eating potatoes all the time and eating a healthy, diverse diet. Bees stay healthiest and their populations grow on a diet of diverse forages.”
The recent push from the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) for pollinator plants was welcome news for Adee and his family.

interest of the environment as a whole,” says
Adee, who planting a pollinator preserve on
his own CRP ground this spring.
Harvesting the essence of summer
With his bees back home in the Midwest
and honey harvest in full swing, Adee and
his crews are busy visiting their bee yards and
pulling honey. To harvest honey they take
the top boxes from the hive. These contain
honeycombs full of honey. They leave the
bottom two boxes where the bees live.
“Just like most of nature, it’s all about con-
servation of energy. Bees live in the bottom boxes, storing honey above them so during the winter months the heat they give off preheats the meals above them,” he says, of the hording insect.
Adee explains that a bee’s diet consists of protein and carbohydrates. They get protein from plant pollen and their carbohydrates from a plant’s nectar which the bees con-vert into honey and store in honeycombs throughout the spring and summer months to sustain them through the winter.
Over the centuries, beekeepers figured out how to get bees to produce more honey — enough to sustain the bees and enough for us to enjoy.
“If their home gets crowded, they will swarm.”
When bees swarm part of the hive stays with the new queen, and the rest goes with the old queen to start a new hive. To keep the bees from swarming and to increase honey production, Adee adds more boxes to the top of the hive.
“Because their house isn’t crowded, we don’t lose our bee population to swarming and we get extra honey,” he says.
They will process the honeycombs they col-lect at either their Bruce or Roscoe facilities. To harvest honey from the honeycombs, the wax coating the honey is removed. Then the honeycombs are heated to 105 degrees and centrifuges are used to remove the honey without damaging the honeycomb.
“We try to conserve the bee’s energy. A little
Honey harvest season is in full swing. Adee Honey Farms harvests honey in Bruce and Roscoe and ships semi loads filled with 55-gallon drums of honey to packing houses across the nation and Europe.

Russ Daly remembers that summer well. The South Dakota State University Extension veterinarian was also in private practice when he saw his first case.
“That first year West Nile Virus hit the state its impact on the horse population was dramatic,” Daly recalls. “There was a huge information vacuum. We were mak-ing calls to other vets in the state asking if they were seeing similar cases. The information network kicked into high gear.”
Veterinarians know quite a bit about West Nile virus — how it attacks its victims, when horses are at greatest risk and how horse owners can protect themselves and their horses from contracting the virus. Daly and Oede-koven answer frequently asked questions for Land and Livestock readers.
Q: How do horses contract West Nile virus?
Oedekoven Answers: Birds are the primary carrier of West Nile virus (WNV). Birds infected with the virus
serve as a reservoir for mos-quitoes. Mosquitoes feed on birds and transfer the virus to other birds, people and horses.
Even today we are not sure why horses are impacted by the virus. There are a number of viruses that impact
different species and WNV is one that impacts horses, humans, birds, and other animals.
Q: Why have the numbers of horses infected with WNV dropped?Oedekoven Answers: We’ve seen a significant decline in the number of cases since 2002, in fact in 2010 there were no cases reported in horses due in large part to horse owners vaccinating their horses.
Q: Since the numbers of horses impacted has de-clined, do horse owners need to worry about WNV this summer?Daly Answers: West Nile virus is a constant threat for people and horses. We know this because the state recently saw its first case of WNV in a human — and the same virus that impacts people effects horses.
We also know that any sick person who gets WNV is reported to the state’s health department. Vets are also required to report WNV that they diagnose in horses, however it is possible that some horses have more mild symptoms and never see a veterinarian.
Oedekoven Answers: This summer horses are at as great of risk as they have been. As we discussed, the
mode of transmission is through mosquitoes. Even though the number of birds infected with the virus
this year is probably no greater than in other years, the conditions are just right for mos-
quitoes to breed – they breed in stagnant water and this summer there is a lot of
stagnant water throughout the state.
Question: How can horse owners protect their horses and them-selves from WNV?Daly Answers: Properly vaccinat-
ing all horses is the most important mode of protection against WNV. Horses need to be vaccinated
against the virus’ every ring and in the first year the horse is vaccinated; it needs to receive a booster three to four weeks following the initial dose.
Unvaccinated horses are at greatest risk. The good news
is most foals receive protection from their mothers through colostrum if their mother has been vaccinated. This protection will wear off when they are three to four months of age – when the foal is old enough to receive its own vaccine.
To ensure correct vaccine procedure, contact your local veterinarian.
Oedekoven Answers: Along with following a proper vaccine program, horse owners can prevent the spread of WNV by evaluating their equine housing site and reducing the presence of mosquito breeding sites. Get rid of any type of standing water – bird baths, pails of water, wheel barrows, old tires.
Consider using insect repellent regularly on horses.
SDSU Researchers Weigh in: To reduce the risk of hu-mans contracting WNV, research suggests humans do the following; avoid being outdoors when mosquitoes are most active, in the early morning and early evening; wear long sleeves and pants; use personal mosquito re-pellents such as DEET or Picaridin. Start now and use until the first frost.
Q: What symptoms should horse owners be on the lookout for?

Oedekoven Answers: Clinical signs of WNV include stumbling; uncoordination; weakness in the hind limbs (the horse doesn’t walk correctly); partial paralysis or the inability to stand; muscle twitching, particularly in the facial muscles; and depression.
Q: What can be done if my horse is infected with the virus?Daly Answers: First thing to do if you witness any symptoms of WNV in a horse is to contact your local veterinarian immediately. A blood test can determine if the horse has WNV.
Unfortunately, and quite a frustrating fact for horse owners and veterinarians, there is no good treatment. Once a horse is diagnosed, veterinarians and horse owners can provide supportive care to their horses with anti-inflammatories, and treat the secondary problems as best we can. However, a good percentage of horses — 1 in 3 — infected with the virus is severely impacted and usually ends up dying or being humanely put to sleep.
We recognize that you have a choice in theselection of your crop care, and we continue to strive to ensure that your trust in us is justified.

over a century ago, honey was squeezed out of the honey-comb, destroying it. Now we’re able to reuse the combs so the bees don’t have to make new ones,” Adee explains.
Queen rearing Every two years, Adee’s hives receive a new queen. As Adee stated, the success of a hive is based on the queen. Each hive has only one queen, and she lays between 1,800 and 2,000 eggs each day — which result in about 40,000 bees during the peak production months of spring and summer.
Of those 40,000 bees, a small portion will be drones — male bees — and most will be worker bees — female bees which did not receive royal jelly, and are therefore are under-developed and unable to reproduce.
To ensure the genetic diversity of her hive, the queen mates with several drones; killing them once she’s done mating so she won’t accidentally mate with the same drone twice.
When rearing the next generation of queens, Adee selects for disease resistance, production and gentleness.
“Beekeepers don’t like getting stung either,” he says laugh-ing.
Adee’s brother, Kevin, does the queen rearing.
Once he’s selected the genetics he wants to propagate, he takes eggs from those specific queens and places them in a man-made queen cell; a plastic cell that is made with the same dimensions as a queen cell crafted in nature, which are larger than brood cells where the worker bees are raised.
“That way it can hold royal jelly,” says Adee, of the jelly-like substance worker bees only feed to the queen egg, which allows its reproductive organs to develop.
The queen cell is then placed in a hive that has had its queen removed, and the next generation of Adee bees begins taking care of its future.
