How are animals cared for when they get sick?
Treating sick cattle responsibly is a science that beef producers take seriously. Producers work closely with veterinarians to promptly detect illness and provide treatment. At feedlots, sick animals are typically moved to a special “hospital pen” where they are treated and monitored. Antibiotics are one of the many tools farmers and ranchers can use to help treat sick animals, while still producing safe and wholesome beef.
