[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 789306, member: 637"] I'll respond to this while I am awake. :) Here is one of the articles on mastitis in the beef herd: [url=http://www.angusjournal.com/ArticlePDF/0801aj_Mastitis.pdf]http://www.angusjournal.com/ArticlePDF/ ... stitis.pdf[/url] [url=http://www1.agric.gov.ab.ca/$department/deptdocs.nsf/all/faq8106]http://www1.agric.gov.ab.ca/$department ... ll/faq8106[/url] Dear Cow Pollinator, Just because I keep my cows in good condition and minerals out, does not mean that I would consider culling a heifer with a light case of mastitis. After I have gone to all the expense and time with these heifers of letting them tie the land up to graze on, keeping the pastures up with lime and fertilizer, keeping mineral out, giving shots, worming, and making sure they have something to eat when it turns cold, I am not going to see what "Mother Nature" has in store for her. If she had a balloned case of mastitis, yes, she would have to go. But this is not alarming, but something I see that I can take care of. I do pay attention to my heifers. Mastitis is spread by the same flies that spread Pink Eye. We sure wouldn't want to wait to see how well our nutrition program was working when the flies brought in Pinkeye. Another "Mother Nature" problem we like to cut off at the pass. If you have a cow/calf operation, I think if you ask anyone doing this, they will tell you that they want quality milk for the calves. From what all that I have read, (type in "heifer mastitis" in Google) there is a lot more mastitis in heifers, dairy and beef, than people thought for. So I guess beef and dairy people are wanting the same result. Quality Milk. There are several articles wrote about how mastitis is passed from one cow to the other and the damage it causes farms and dairies. Just as the flies go from one cow to the other, they carry the germ. And calves do cross nurse. If one quarter is infected, and the calf checks each quarter out, then it can infect all four quarters. It states as long as the teat becomes unsealed, about a month before the heifer is due to calve, they are capable of contracting mastitis. Chuckie [/QUOTE]
