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.
