feeder cattle sales being in full swinfe doesn’t mean the cattleman’s job is finished or soon will be. Cows have been refared, a good many feeders have already been bought to replace cattle sold.
Now is the time to winterize your cattle. Most hay and silage is in storage so its not getting ready from the stand point of a feed program; rather the job at hand is getting the cattle ready for that winter feed.
Readying them means ridding them of parasites; lice, grubs and other kinds of insects. Insects that cause an estimated annual loss of $235,000,000 to the U. S. livestock industry.
Mr. Rappahannock cattleman if you will but take time to figure roughly the investment you have per cbw_you’ll stop letting parasites find insects rob you. $150$200 for the cow, labor, seed and fertilifsejr bill, etc—it all counts up fast. ! ' 'I
How can you stop this loss?
What can you use for grubs, lice, hornflies, screw worms? Federal and our own Virginia Research men tested a material called Bayer 21/199 for five years or more, round it very effective. Its now sold as Co-Ral. Costs around $39.00 a case or $10.00 al lb. can of 25% wettable material. Seems high but is it really? It’s used at 16 lbs. per 100 gallons of water, enough for 100 cows. That figures at 39c per cow. Parasite lasses can amount to $10.00 per animal or more, i
Did %u ever see a bunch of steers drop 100-150 lbs. in a couple of weeks because of lice? What about those cows being fed adequate amounts of hay, or hay and silage, having blood sucking lice pullingthem down, down, down? Can the mother come thru with a strong healthy calf and give plenty of milk for him?
The cattle grub is another insect that holds down gains, reduces the efficient usage of feed, cuts profits around $155 million annually. Protein Is a big part of blood solids. What do you pay for protien concentrates? What does nitrogen cost?
When you consider tha 39<? cost of Bayer 21/199 as compared to these losses and costs the sum shrinks.
How should it be.applied and when? Now is the time before the cost gets winter-thick, before cold weather hits. Actually, you’ll be getting rid of horn flies, lice and grubs! For most effective results: kill the grubs when young_...now. Wet the skin_use high pressure
