Florida homestead question of the day
Should Mini Zebu cattle evacuate for a hurricane?
The decision depends on forecast hazards, flood and wind exposure, trailer capacity, destination and local emergency instructions.

What to do
- Practice loading before hurricane season.
- Keep permanent identification and current photos.
- Identify high ground and remove loose hazards.
- Store protected feed and emergency water.
