Whether you’re a seedstock producer, run a cow-calf operation or are purchasing cattle to put on feed, chances are you have a relationship with your local sale barn. Sitting in the stands watching animals run through the ring, the logistics of sorting like cattle, pregnancy checking, performing breeding soundness exams and readying cattle to go on grass (or into a feedlot) can be mind-numbing. 

On this episode of Angus at Work, we welcome you to listen in as we visit with veterinarian Chris Jolly regarding: 

  • What happens when you drop cattle off at the sale barn
  • How you can better prepare your animals to withstand stress from birth forward
  • Steps you can take to minimize risk when introducing new livestock to your operation
  • And much more!
