Managing the Effects of Wildlife on Livestock with Rosslyn Biggs
We don’t know about you, but there isn’t a much better place to spend time in than the great outdoors. One of the beautiful things about farming and ranching – whether you work primarily on or off-farm – is that our workplace involves spending time amongst this beautiful creation and the wildlife that call it home.
While it’s never a bad thing to appreciate the beauty of our wild creatures, they do sometimes throw a curveball when it comes to managing our own cattle.
On this episode of Angus at Work, we welcome you to listen in as we visit with veterinarian Rosslyn Biggs of Oklahoma State University regarding:
Diseases we should be on the lookout for when livestock and wildlife comingle
Methods for managing risk
Steps for preparedness
Why a happy medium it crucial when it comes to coexisting with wildlife
