Give your cattle a comfortable place’to rest until they have recover ed from the stress of shipping. Complete rest and freedom from ex citement is one of the keys to reducing shipping fever. Allow free access to clean wafer and mineral mixture. Feed low quality roughage, preferably a grass hay (timothy, brome), ground corn cobs, or a mixture of oats, straw and hay. Experience has shown that on lower quality roughage there is less trouble with shipping fever. Do not feed a high quality legume hay such as alfalfa or clover for the next three weeks. Th’s will result in scouring and may increase the incidence of shipping fever. Remember range cattle have been used to grass as roughage. Sick animals, showing weakness, excessive secretion from eyes and nose, and heavy breathing should be isolated in dry, comfortable quarters and Treated By A Veterinarian. Inspect the entire herd 2 to 3 times dally. Quietly remove sick animals before treating. After a period of several weeks the cattle, if healthy, can be moved to fall pasture or corn field. Any sick animals should be kept in dry lot until recovery. See Next Weeks Advertisement for suggestions on how to get cattle on feed.
