Cow/Calf Herd Health-An Idealistic Herd Health Program
A large proportion of U.S. beef originates in small (farm) cow herds. Two-thirds of beef breeding herds in the United States have fewer than fifty cows. Forty-one states have an average herd size of fewer than fifty cows. Nine North Atlantic states have an average herd size of only four cows. Only t...
