Livestock feed can be found Pets also need to be
I Producers looking for livestock
feed can connect with those who
have it.
‘ Drought is creating forage short-
ages throughout North Dakota this
year, which means producers will
have to find alternative sources of
feed for their livestock.
North Dakota State University
and the North Dakota Department of
Agriculture can help connect those
who need feed with those who have
it.
Farmers and ranchers who have
feedstuffs such as hay or corn for
sale can list it on NDSU’s FeedList
website, which is designed to con-
nect feed sellers and buyers. Produc-
ers also may list pasture they have
for rent.
The FeedList, at
https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/feedlist,
shows what each seller has for sale,
how the feed is stored (large round
bales, small bales, etc.) and the
seller’s contact information. Prospec-
tive buyers can select what they want
to buy and contact the sellers. Using
:the FeedList is free of charge.
, This site also may be used to do-
nate or receive donations.
: Anyone who wants to buy feed or
has feed to sell or donate can com-
plete an online form at the site. Those
iwho need entry help can contact their
county office of NDSU Extension.
‘ All entries will be deleted auto-
matically after 90 days. Buyers and
North Dakota State University and the North Dakota Depart-
ment of Agriculture are helping connect those who need live-
stock feed with those who have it. (NDSU photo)
sellers who no longer need the
FeedList’s services before that
should contact the Feedlist coordina-
tor, Elizabeth Cronin, at
elizabeth.cronin@ndsu.edu to have
the entry removed.
North Dakota Agriculture Com-
missioner Doug Goehring has reac—
tivated the Hay Hotline and
interactive map. The Hay Hotline
and interactive map list those who
need hay, those with hay or feed to
sell, those with pasture or hay land to
rent, those with Conservation Re-
serve Program (CRP) land for graz-
ing and haying once it becomes
available, and those available to
move hay. The map is available at
https://www.nd.gov/ndda. Users may
click on the icons to retrieve infor-
mation about available hay, pasture,
hay land and CRP land in their area.
To be listed on the map, users
should contact the Hay Hotline by
calling 701-425-8454 weekdays
from 8 am. to 5 pm. Callers may
leave a message on evenings and
weekends. The service is free of
charge. Individuals who contact the
hotline are asked to provide their
name, contact information and what
they need or can provide.
Some humor might help gardeners

protected from the sun
Human beings are accustomed
to taking certain measures to pro-
tect themselves when spending
time in the sun. Applying and reap—
plying sunscreen, avoiding the out-
doors during certain times of the
day and drinking plenty of water
while outside are just a few of the
ways people can safely soak up
summer sun. But what about dogs?
Should dog owners be equally pro-
tective of their four—legged friends
before letting them run around in
the backyard or fraternize with fel-
low canines at the nearest dog
park?
According to the American
Kennel Club, dogs can get sun—
burned just like their human coun—
terparts. In addition, the AKC
notes that sunburn can make dogs
more vulnerable to certain types of
skin cancer, including squamous
cell carcinoma, malignant
melanomas and hemangiomas.
Sunburn also can exacerbate pre-
existing conditions like autoim—
mune disorders and dermatitis.
Some dogs may be especially
vulnerable ‘
While no dog is immune to sun—
burn, some are more vulnerable
than others. The AKC notes that
hairless breeds like the American
Hairless Terrier need sun protec-
tion whenever they will be outside
for extended periods of time. In
addition, dogs with white or thin
coats and those with light-pig-
mented noses and eyelids also are
especially vulnerable to sunburn.
The AKC also says that dogs with
thick coats of hair are not immune
to sunburn, as many such dogs
shed their coats during especially
warm weather, thereby making
them more vulnerable to the sun’s
ultraviolet rays. Dog owners can

speak with their veterinarians to
determine how vulnerable their
dogs are to sunburn.
What dog owners can do
Dogs can benefit from sun—
screen just like their owners. How-
ever, dog owners must only apply
dog-specific sunscreens to their
furry friends. The AKC advises
dog owners to avoid applying sun-
screens that contain zinc oxide'or
para—aminobenzoic acid, or PABA,
to their dogs, as these can be toxic
when ingested.
Ingestion is likely as dogs typi-
cally try to lick their skin after sun-
screen has been applied, so dog
owners must. take this warning
very seriously.
The AKC also recommends
using waterproof sunscreens with
a minimum sun protection factor,
or SPF, of 30.
Don’t just go all in
Before applying sunscreen to a

dog’s entire body, pick an area of
its body to apply a small amount.
Then wait a little while to see if the
sunscreen causes an allergic reac-
tion. If it does, wash the product
off with water and do not allow the
dog to spend ample time outdoors
until you find a product that works
and does not cause an allergic re-
action.
If the dog is not allergic, apply
the sunscreen about 20 minutes be-
fore going outside, keeping a
watchful eye on your pooch to be
sure he or she does not lick it off.
Apply the product anywhere pig-
ment is light, and also make sure
to get vulnerable areas like the
bridge of the nose, ear tips and the
skin around the lips, groin and
inner thighs.
