The information was prepared by a committee of extension animal scientists in Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. The manual is a joint publication of the Cooperative Extension System in these states.
Three important reminders to all who read these materials:
Basic Information--Although this handbook is written by western states specialists, most of the information is useful to all cattle producers regardless of location.
Trade names--To simplify the information presented, trade names are used occasionally throughout the handbook. Use of trade names does not imply an endorsement of the product nor criticism of similar products that are not mentioned.
Chemical and drug recommendations--Recommendations made in Cattle Producers Library were based on the best information available at the time of writing. Beef specialists annually review the handbook.
This is a rapidly changing industry. Before using pesticides or animal health products, read the instructions on the label. Be sure the label specifies that the product can be used with the class of livestock and for the problem you have identified. Read and follow all precautions and restrictions on each label.
*Note: To read and print the .pdf files contained in the library, you must have the Adobe® Acrobat® Reader installed on your computer.
