Farming Eugene Mathern Urges Cattle Grub Control
County extension director Farming Eugene Mathern urges cattle feeders to apply grub control this summer. Cattle headed for market this fall should be treated, including native cattle and those that spent the heel fly season on Midwest and Western pastures. In August through October, cattle slated for slaughter between mid-December and May should receive treatment. Three common methods—feed additives, pour-on, and sprays—are effective when applied properly, with feed additives to be fed.
