Herd Management
plan includes building a good cross-bred commercial cow herd featuring a Limousin sire but you can ’ t afford the bull of that dream plan , consider leasing or going into shares with a neighbor . The bull is half the calves you are going to produce , so try not to settle .
Use a veterinarian and dietician to develop a health plan for your herd . Be organized and do things properly including implants , vaccinations , supplements , parasite control , de-horning and castrating . Use a software database or at minimum buy a box of pencils , erasers and a sharpener to record everything you think might be useful . Remember , keep things fuzz free .
When you think you ’ ve got a decent plan in place to build a tight uniform cow herd producing a healthy , well cared
for calf crop that matches your goal , don ’ t forget to be adaptable . Nothing stays the same forever . Even good quality focused pictures fade and curl up over time , so don ’ t be afraid to continually log in to that software program and keep a supply of sharpened pencils for that ongoing upgrade to a better , more focused herd management plan .
