Hartwig Trucking’s Steve Hartwig says adjustments have to be made on all sides of the cattle hauling industry to keep everyone safe but operational during huge storms. “Packers, sale barns and ranchers all struggle in weather like this.” Using more accurate weather forecasts with today’s technology, packers are able to plan ahead. “Cattle came from the west on Monday ahead of the storm and switched to cattle coming from the east during the week; everyone plans and strategizes to do the best job we can to get through it together.”
