Cull Cows and Meat Inspection
All dairymen send some
animals to “market” to salvage
what they can from their cull
dairy cows. The reasons for
culling are many, ranging from
low production, to breeding
problems, to the cows that can go
through any fence no matter how
high or how strong
756
648
755
751
750
Cows that have been sick or
infected sometimes have to be
disposed of also, and many times
these are sent for slaughter.
Sending sick cows to slaughter
under Federal meat inspection
may not only result in con
demnation and loss of the car
cass, but it may add additional
losses for hauling, commission,
etc.
749

Dr. S. B. Guss, Penn State
Extension Veterinarian, suggests
that before sending animals to
slaughter which have been sick
or recently sick, be sure to check
with your vet. Animals which
have fever when sent to slaughter
are usually condemned. If an
tibiotics or other drugs have been
used for treatment, be sure that
the animal has been held long
enough to eliminate danger of
tissue residues. An ordinary dry
cow dose of Vitamin A, D, E will
usually produce a discolored area
which may result in con
demnation of the hind leg into
which it was injected. Injection of
such things is best done in the
muscles of the neck in front of the
withers. Meat inspectors will
hold out or condemn all carcasses
which show evidence of needle
injection. This evidence usually
initiates collection of tissue
samples for drug residues.
Meat inspectors welcome and
encourage calls from practicing
veterinarians regarding cull
animals sent to daughter. The
animals history may make the
difference between con
demnation and passage of the
carcass. It may also be .helpful to
know exactly what abnormality
is present in the carcass. It’s a
good way to check out diagnoses
made.

Keeping Useful Dairy Records
The question is often asked,
“How many records are needed
for my dairy operation?’’Some
good advice in answer to this
question would be to keep only
records that will be used.
717
676
716
650
716
652
The type of records will depend
on the ability and needs of the
dairy operator, but to be of any
value the record must be used in
the operation of the business.
714
693
Minimum financial records are
needed to meet legal
requirements, but more detailed
records can be very helpful in the
management of a modern dairy
operation.
710
710
697
709
The simplest, but often the
most neglected records, are
dates on which various events
take place. Breeding, freshening,
dry, and birth dates are only a
few which are very important,
and often forgotten if * not
recorded somewhere.
Production records on in
dividual cows and the herd are
recognized as a part of the Dairy
Herd Improvement Association.
The DHI, alternate AM-PM, and
owner sampler plans also provide
a place for permanently recor
ding dates, pedigrees and health
information for each animal in
the herd.

You should decide what
records you can use, and then
record information that will give
you the needed'data." A produc

your needs for a systematic
method of recording
