Dry Season Livestock Management

Protect Your Herd. Maintain Market Weights. Stop Cold-Season Losses.

The dry season between June and August is where Botswana cattle operations either make a profit or suffer devastating losses. As the veld dries out, grazing quality plummets, water tables drop, and your herd’s body condition can collapse in a matter of weeks.

You don't have to watch your hard work lose weight. This practical, science-backed field guide gives you the exact blueprint used by Botswana’s top commercial ranchers to keep cattle thriving and maintain high marketplace prices right through the toughest months of the year.

What This Guide Will Help You Achieve:

• Cut Feed Costs Safely: Learn how to mix your own highly effective protein licks using our step-by-step homemade recipes—saving money on commercial feed while giving your cattle exactly what they lack.
• Lock In Premium Market Prices: Master Body Condition Scoring (BCS) to catch nutritional drops before your cattle lose visible weight, ensuring your animals fetch top prices at BMC or local auctions.
• Prevent Dry-Season Mortalities: Keep your herd safe with a bulletproof, Botswana-specific vaccination and disease-prevention schedule tailored for June to August.
• Eliminate Water Anxiety: Run through a strict borehole and water security checklist so you never experience a catastrophic water failure when your animals need it most.
• Take the Guesswork Out of Science: Get complex livestock nutrition broken down into simple, actionable language you or your herd managers can implement on the farm tomorrow morning.
