How should I prepare my cattle for feeding with Decatur?
We strongly recommend:
- Ear-tagging your calves (on the left ear) at birth
- Keeping good records, including birth dates, vaccinations, and health
- A pre-conditioning program for bawling calves
- Placing cattle with us before they reach 850 pounds
- Contacting us as early as possible prior to shipment
These actions give you the most profit potential, keep maintenance costs down (by avoiding things such as duplicate vaccinations), and help your cattle qualify for age and source premiums. Ask us about our preferred pre-conditioning program.
Note: We don’t accept dairy cattle or dairy-influenced cattle.
