Episode 2 — From Pasture to Profit: Cattle Health, Screwworm, Beef Imports & More

In Episode 2 of From Pasture to Profit with the McDaniel Brothers, we sit down with veterinarian Dr. Morris for a conversation every cattle producer needs to hear.

We tackle some of the biggest issues facing the cattle industry today, including the return of New World Screwworm, what producers need to know about protecting their cattle, and how animal health can impact the entire beef industry.

We also discuss the recent push to bring more foreign beef into the United States, what President Trump’s plan could mean for American cattle producers, and the ongoing debate over beef supply, prices, and the future of the U.S. cattle herd.

And we get down to the practical side of cattle production—minerals, nutrition, herd health, and making sure your cattle have what they need to perform and stay healthy.

From the pasture to the veterinarian’s office, we cover a little bit of everything in this episode.
