Welcome to Coteau Hills Cowgirl!I have grown up our family ranch running a commercial SimAngus cow-calf operation. Since I was young, I always loved to go outside and help with the cows. Growing up this way has taught me many valuable lessons and has shown me how truly great agriculture is.
Agriculture is more than just a job for many people. Agriculture is a lifestyle, one they feel proud of and passionate for. Agriculturist work hard, long hours, taking special care of their way of life, whether its in livestock, crops, or vegetables. This is no exception for producers who raise cattle . These producers are want to make sure that their cattle are healthy and well cared for.
A new program, said to pass legislature and go into effect January 1, 2017, wants to ensure that producers are properly giving medications to their livestock. This program known as the Veterinary Feed Directive, commonly called VFD, will require producers to have a written note from their veterinarian saying they are allowed to give this medicated feed to there livestock before they can purchase the feed.
Many producers have concerns with this program that they would like to see answers to before the program goes into effect.
