Cattle

When the words ‘cloned beef’ are said what comes to mind? Some scary sci-fi movie which cattle looking like Frankenstein are running around, a steak on one plate being replicated by huge machines on another plate, or some futuristic thing that’s too far fetches to need to think about. Now, what if I were to say, despite all the things sci-fi movies, activists, and scariest our ideas have told us, that none of these are true? Cloned beef is not something to fear. It is not something to be…

receiving antibiotics will be healthier than animals that do not receive them, and will in turn be healthier and will live longer. When people get sick, they need antibiotics to make them better. It is the same way with livestock. Some antibiotics help cattle to grow faster and get more out of the feed they eat and reach market weight faster than they would without that extra added help. When using antibiotics for faster growth, the animal does not receive as big of a dose as they would if they…

118; cattle numbers to 8,306; and horse numbers to 1,436. During World War I, from 1914-1918, there was a large labour shortage, especially for wool production, and so the company moved away from sheep to increase their cattle production. So began a process of selling southern estates and moving north, purchasing Headingly Station at Urandangie in Queensland in 1916 and Avon Downs in the Northern Territory in 1921. At the end of the Second World War, the company became a specialised cattle…

on the animal’s skin, while the order Anoplora consists of lice that like to actually suck the animal’s blood. Differentiation between the two different orders of lice matters because treatment is chosen based upon what kind of order of lice the cattle/other animals have.

1. The impact of M. paratuberculosis in dairy cattle is detrimental. The disease can cause severe diarrhea and weight loss, which can inevitably lead to protein losing enteropathy followed by death. Studies have indeed been published, most of them focusing on the economic losses this disease brings to the dairy industry. In the study “Economic impact of paratuberculosis in dairy cattle herds: a review” by L. Hasonova, and I. Pavlik they explore the different health parameters that change due to…

reason why I strive for the goals I have set for myself. As look back at my life growing up, I truly believe the beef industry is the reason why I have reached so many goals and aspirations in my life.

Like so many other showman, I experienced the pain of walking my steer into trailer and saying goodbye to my best friend. I…

Horses are subject to varying depictions in All the Pretty Horses. The most archaic portrayal is their representation as tools. To ranchers, horses are a necessity they use them to travel and herd cattle. Yet, horses are also pictured as having a basic emotional similarity as humans; they both experience the primitive emotion of fear. Although, McMurtry also portrays horses by their ability to escape fear when they are free. Simply put, horses may be a tool, but when analyzed critically they…

In July, 2001, a two year old boy named Kevin Kowalcyk died in Colorado after eating a hamburger contaminated with E. coli O157:H7 from the popular fast food chain, Jack In The Box. Kevin died 12 days after being stuck with the illness, but it took the FDA 16 days after Kevin was diagnosed with E.coli to recall the meat. Just think of how many people ate that contaminated meat within those 16 days. Kevin’s mother, Barbara Kowalcyk has been working for over six years to pass a law that would give…

committing thievery and murder, two actions considered crimes even in the “lawless” West. Theft is the unauthorized stealing of property from another with the intent to deprive them of such property. Correspondingly, “the Kid’s” main business was rustling cattle on the frontier’s vast plains (Andrews). However, thievery is far from his most egregious crime. Murder is the unlawful killing of another human being with intent and without justification and there were several notable instances when…
