Beef cattle raised outdoors on pasture and hay are naturally hardy animals that tend to have few health problems. When they do become ill or injured, it’s important to identify the problem and treat it quickly, before it worsens and causes permanent damage to or kills the animal. As a cattle owner, you have a responsibility to take the necessary steps to prevent problems, to recognize abnormal behavior immediately, to treat minor health problems, and to call the veterinarian for conditions beyond your skill. Your cattle health program, then, should have three parts: prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
