After the Sale...
Have we ever really stopped to think about and evaluate
what we ask of livestock when we relocate them? With humans
a change of address is one of the most stressful events in their
lives. When livestock are purchased and trucked hundreds of
miles to differing climates and feed sources we place them in a
most stressful and sometimes hard to adapt situations.
What can we do to help alleviate some of that stress?
1. Have clean water and good quality feed available upon arrival.
2. Keep them in a small pen or lot for several days allowing them
to fill back up, adjust to new surroundings and so you can watch
them closely for any health issues that may arise.
3. Double check health protocol with previous owner so if there
are any vaccinations that my be needed in your area that have
not already been done they can be taken care of.
4. When you co-mingle them with your cattle make sure they
are placed with like age groups. For example, do not turn
yearling bulls out with mature bulls and expect them to survive.
Remember that younger cattle are still growing and maturing.
Do not expect them to compete with older more mature cattle
for the same available feed stuff and expect them to reproduce
and perform at optimum levels.
5. It is always a good idea when first unloading at a new
location to have another animal in a nearby pen to provide
companionship.
