[QUOTE="PRCattleCo, post: 1568785, member: 26886"] Ken, If you did not notice, I am a "Custom Preconditioner" and it doesn't matter to me baseline if they live or die. It only hits my pocketbook from the yardage standpoint. I don't own the cattle, I just get them ready for customers so they are setup for a feedyard. I just absolutely hate cutting open these cattle I post and seeing they have only 10-15% good lung, lesions of lung attached to the rib cage or other issues like plueritis or even heart failure due to lack of doctoring practices. I am not knocking anyone on these boards or talking anyone down regarding animal husbandry. I never said that and I really don't care that you are being super sensitive. I am stating fact for here in the US and not Southeast Australia. I have cut open too many deads that were the product of producers not paying attention to their calves and thinking they have always been alright, just because they are still walking and eating out of a Creep-feeder. The point of my post is anyone that reads this is not directly to blame, but should promote other producers and remain cognoscente of their calves and not rely on a Creep-feeder and the feed provider to do the job of the owner identifying sick cattle and applying a needle/drug as soon as possible.
