Feeding Natural Cattle

The term Natural as defined by the USDA is very loose.

  • It is generally accepted that cattle qualifying for Natural programs have never received antibiotics or hormones.
  • According to SDSU, the Break Even for finishing cattle can be over $5.00 per CWT higher than conventionally fed cattle at a diet cost of $90.00/Ton
  • Yeast based additives may recoup some of the efficiency lost by removing an Ionophore. In addition, yeast cell wall components contain numerous gut health components.
  • Need to consider vaccinating for Liver Abscesses.
  • Whole corn may reduce fluctuations in feed intake as well as metabolic and liver abscess problems.
  • Proper management is critical for raising natural cattle. All stressors need to be reduced to keep the animals healthy from a reduction in the opportunity for acidosis.
  • A sound marketing plan is needed.
