incoming stocker calves

Help Support CattleToday:

On this topic one thing I notice no one mentioned is washing incoming calves. All Livestock handling places be they Auction barns or feed lots get sick animals passing through. Back in the 60s I worked at a large cattle buying /back grounding operation.If I told the name it would be advertising. The owner noticed a tv add telling folks to wash their hands often in flu season.Next day he showed up with a spay cup you put on a water hose to fertilize your yard.He told us to put Ivory dertergent in the cup and wash all incoming cattle. It turned out to be a big help in lowering our sickness. Its a simple cheap thing that works. The other thing I notice is no mention of ADE vitamin shots,that helps also.
