[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1723429, member: 25884"] Parasites for fly control is popular because they can be "planted" around the barns where they don't get disturbed. Many use IGR in calf milk and feed. I don't think it is allowed for milking cattle. I have never read the label closely. I don't know about beef being raised in such confinement in the young stages. There are more problems with breeding cows that are on concrete.... the cows are not as active, and they are more inclined to slip.... you could not keep a bull in there and expect him to be able to mount cows consistently. Many dairy cows will slip and "split" or just injure themselves when coming in heat and getting ridden by other cows. The muscles will not get developed as well when they are not getting the kind of exercise that cattle get out on pastures. I don't know how well they would do in confinement like that. Yes, dairy cows are fed for production of milk as the primary reason. There is a different temperament in many dairy cows than most beef cattle too. They are raised in a more "confinement" type attitude [/QUOTE]
