Show me the money!

摘要

That demand from cow/calf producers regarding preweaning disease prevention practices isn't always answered in the form of a price premium. Preconditioning decisions have long been a "show me the money" proposition. This is especially true with regard to preweaning disease prevention practices. There's little doubt that special preweaning treatment carries a payback on the finishing end of the cattle life cycle. Still, feeders traditionally have been reluctant to pay ranchers who try to optimize theimmunity of their calves.
