As a cow-calf producer, you know there’s nothing better than a hands-off, stress-free calving situation. But chances are, if you’re reading this and running cattle on your ranch, you know – realistically, there are times a hands-off approach just won’t cut it.

Scours! One of those words that will make most ranchers use “corral” talk immediately, regardless of who is standing around. Scours is a little like a wildfire.

Producers have been growing and finishing calves to put in the freezer as long as there have been freezers. This has been a common process for years, especially in areas where the rural, cattle-owning population was greater than it is today.
