Section 8 - Marketing of Non-Fed Beef


 
 

Many non-fed cattle that are marketed are sold because they may have a problem that is hindering their production.  Problems that can occur are 1) prolapse, 2) disease, 3) lameness, 4) cancer eye, 5) lumpy jaw, 6) abscesses 7) edema, and 8) sheath damage.  It is important to remember that many of these problems do not always improve with time.  Thus, timely marketing of animals with these problems is important.  The quicker they are marketed the better.
