    I have seen calves on a high grain diet get feet problems because you over did it on the feeding -- check his feet --get a hoof pick and scrap away some of the bottom --- if indeed it is a foot problen associated with your feeding methods you will see the spots on the feet. No cure for it as...

    Again, you miss the point--- marketing a product happens AFTER you have produced it. EID would force all cattle raisers to stand behind what they raise, which would force them to invest in some carcass quality type cattle and the rest of the misinformed like you would be working for those who do...

    NEVADA GINA HAS A NEW STORY/UPDATE RE STARVING CATTLE

    That sounds very much like a show cattle outfit --- 40 acre parcel and no hay on hand except to show cattle talk about starving cattle tho -- it is usually the wealthy crowd that does the worst job on earth with their cattle.
