If you see clippings from ornamental, evergreen shrubs that someone has dumped where cattle, horses, sheep, etc., can eat them, you had better move the plants or the animals. If you don’t, expect some dead animals.
Staph Mastitis: Herd Control Program, Clell Bagley
Staph Mastitis: Herd Control Program, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
Mastitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus is a major problem for some dairy herds. It causes high Somatic Cell Counts (SCC), reduces milk quality, and may cause a loss of milk market. It limits milk production for the herd, reduces efficiency, and continues to spread to other cows.
Breeding Soundness Examination Of Rams, Clell Bagley
Breeding Soundness Examination Of Rams, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
The objective of a breeding soundness examination (BSE) of rams is to evaluate and classify their potential breeding ability. This process should include evaluation of their physical condition as well as an evaluation of the semen itself. A BSE does not include an evaluation of sex drive or breeding behavior because there are no standardized criteria by which to judge these. Their best evaluation at present will come from observation of the rams breeding behavior after introduction into the ewe flock.
Improving Reproductive Performance Of The Ewe, Clell Bagley
Improving Reproductive Performance Of The Ewe, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
The western range ewe is a tremendously productive animal as evidenced by the excellent reproductive rates that are achieved by some producers, some years. Yet many other factors such as weather, disease and forage availability can drastically reduce their productivity. It is a major management challenge to control or even minimize the effect of these interacting factors. Some of those of greatest priority are listed and briefly discussed.
Obstetrics And Lambing Problems, Clell Bagley
Obstetrics And Lambing Problems, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
Lambing season is a busy time and a critical step toward a productive year. The first rule is for frequent observation of ewes due to lamb. Extra help during this season will usually more than pay for the cost because of extra lambs saved.

Beef Quality Assurance Notes, Clell Bagley
Beef Quality Assurance Notes, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
Most of us have felt that injections given to a calf early in its life would be of little problem by the time it went to slaughter. We were WRONG!!! Colorado State University has provided the data and the pictures to prove it. In fact, 90% of the lesions found at slaughter originated during the cow-calf, stocker or early feeding periods. And, injections given while the calf is young caused greater lesions than those given when it was older. The study followed calves injected at branding or weaning and found a high incidence of lesions and blemishes when they went …
Preparing Bulls For The Breeding Season, Clell Bagley
Preparing Bulls For The Breeding Season, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
With proper care prior to and during the breeding season, cattlemen can increase the breeding capacity of bulls. Breeding soundness evaluations and trichomoniasis testing are tools which can aid a herd manager as he makes critical decisions for next year’s calf crop.
Assisting With Calving, Clell Bagley
Assisting With Calving, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
Calving season is a busy time of year for cattlemen and it is a critical step toward a productive year. The first rule is frequent observation of those cows due to calve, especially the first calf heifers. This is usually a very busy time of year and some extra help during this season will more than pay for the cost through extra calves saved. Even wives and older children can help a solo producer get some needed sleep. If, they have been taught how to observe, they can tell when a calving cow needs help and if there’s a need …
Dealing With Drought And Short Feed Supplies For Beef Cattle, Clell Bagley
Dealing With Drought And Short Feed Supplies For Beef Cattle, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
Weather patterns greatly impact feed supplies for almost all areas of Utah. Both grazing and harvested feed supplies are usually reduced with drought conditions. The hay QUALITY may actually be improved because of the excellent drying conditions for harvest. Taking good care of hay supplies to protect that quality may allow use of less feed in the winter to achieve acceptable results.
Halogeton Toxicity In Cattle, Clell Bagley
Halogeton Toxicity In Cattle, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
“Everyone” knows that halogeton is toxic to sheep, but sometimes we forget that it is also toxic for cattle. If cattle eat enough of it, it will kill them. One autumn incident resulted in the death of over 40 head of cows in a multiple owner grazing herd.
Controlling Internal Parasites In Utah Cattle, Clell Bagley
Controlling Internal Parasites In Utah Cattle, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
Most cattle harbor some internal parasites (worms) and Utah cattle are no exception. The varied geographic and climatic conditions of Utah allow for tremendous variation in the parasite burden of different cattle herds. The numbers of parasites varies from very few to so numerous as to cause severe weakness and even death of cattle.
Calf Scours Simplified, Clell Bagley
Calf Scours Simplified, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
Virtually stacks of material have been written about calf scours and yet it remains as one of the major problems for beef calves. Enough is now known that we should be able to prevent or at least control the great majority of scours outbreak problems.
Infectious Cattle Diseases And Vaccines, Clell Bagley
Infectious Cattle Diseases And Vaccines, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
Vaccines are available for 20 to 30 infectious diseases of cattle. With the various brand names and different combinations available, the choice of vaccines can become very complicated. Calves vaccinated under 6 months of age should generally be re-vaccinated again after that age to provide a longer lasting immunity.
Mastitis Prevention Program, Clell Bagley
Mastitis Prevention Program, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
A great deal of money and effort have been expended over the years to find methods for control of mastitis in dairy cows. Both European and U.S. workers have developed programs of prevention that are very similar. These preventive programs require implementation of the seven basic procedures outlined below. It has been shown repeatedly that this programs works.

Breeding Soundness In Rams: How To Do It..., Clell Bagley
Breeding Soundness In Rams: How To Do It..., Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
In order for ram breeding soundness examinations to be of maximum value to producers they must be relatively thorough as well as consistent. There is so much normal variation between rams that we cannot afford to add additional variability by lack of observation or inconsistent techniques.
Mycotoxins, Clell Bagley
Mycotoxins, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
Certain metabolites of some fungi (molds) are poisonous (toxic). Fungal poisons have been known for many years, but they were not considered a major factor in animal disease until fairly recently. Because the prefix myco- refers to fungi, these toxins are termed mycotoxins. Penicillin is derived from a fungus and could be termed a mycotoxin, in relation to bacteria which are sensitive to it.

Controlling Coliform Mastitis, Clell Bagley
Controlling Coliform Mastitis, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
Coliform mastitis is usually considered as an acute disease although some milder forms and even chronic cases do occur. It is caused by the bacterial organism Escherichia coli, hence the name, coliform. Other, related organisms, Enterobacter aerogenes and Klebsiella pneumoniae, are also often called “coliforms.”

Ammonia Toxicity In A Herd Of Beef Cattle, Clell Bagley
Ammonia Toxicity In A Herd Of Beef Cattle, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
A Utah producer lost 22 out of 50 head of cows in May, due to ammonia toxicity. He used a liquid fertilizer tank to haul water to the cattle. He had done this for two years previously, and with washing out thoroughly, there had been no problem. But this time some fertilizer was evidently left in, mixed with the water and resulted in the toxicosis.
Disease Resistance In Cattle, Clell Bagley
Disease Resistance In Cattle, Clell Bagley
All Current Publications
The ability of cattle to resist the many disease processes to which they are exposed is truly amazing. And yet, when several adverse factors combine, this resistance can be overcome and result in a herd disaster which is just as amazing. This discussion will be broken down into four major areas. But it is the combined functioning of all four areas that actually provides disease resistance.
