Bhagavant Farm

Job Responsibility Livestock advisors provide complex specialist advice to farmers and livestock breeders to ensure that their business and production is optimized. The duties of a beef farmer may include feeding, administering medication, maintaining facilities, monitoring the herd for signs of illness, assisting with calving, performing artificial insemination, and managing waste. They also may be responsible for marketing their animals, transporting sales stock, baling hay or harvesting other forage for use as feed, maintaining farm equipment, and maintaining facilities. Beef cattle farmers work in with large animal veterinarians to maintain the health of their cattle through vaccination and medication protocols. They may also rely on advice from animal nutritionists and livestock feed sales representatives to create balanced rations for their herd. Beef cattle farmers may also Job Requirements Job Benifits benefit from having personnel management experience, as most commercial farms have employees to manage and direct. Even smaller family cow-calf operations may hire outside help when needed. Farm managers must be able to schedule employee shifts, address employee concerns, and oversee the day to day activities on the farm. As is the case with many livestock careers, a beef cattle farmer may work long hours. It is not uncommon for cattle farmers to work weekend, evening, or holiday shifts. The work may involve working in extreme temperatures and varying weather conditions. It is also important that cattle farmers take safety precautions when working with these large and potentially dangerous animals. Feeding the Cattle Cattle must have food and water year-round. When pastures are lushly vegetated, the herds may be turned loose to graze on their own. As the food supply in one pasture diminishes, ranchers might have to move the herd to another pasture. In winter, cattle are typically fed hay or special feed that must be delivered to the pens, barns or pastures. Dairy cattle are normally kept on a specific diet to maximize milk production and quality. Beef cattle are normally given special feeds just prior to sale to increase their weight. Water must be delivered to cattle kept in barns, and when they are at pasture, ranchers must ensure that stock tanks or natural sources are full and uncontaminated. Breeding the Cattle Ranchers practice selective breeding to produce stock with the qualities desired. Artificial insemination is often used to eliminate the need to physically transport livestock between ranches. The rancher may handle the chore or engage the services of a veterinarian. During labor, ranchers are often on hand to assist in the delivery and monitor the health of both the cow and the calf. Monitoring Cattle Health A rancher must maintain a close watch on the health of the livestock. Numerous diseases and parasitic pests can affect entire herds in a short time. Beef cattle must be healthy to sell, and unhealthy dairy cattle can't be milked. Minor health problems, such as ticks or superficial cuts, are normally tended by the rancher. If required, some ranchers handle chores like dehorning or castration themselves.
