Customer Services
Providing you with access to integrated care, feeding data and continuous research.
Gregory Feedlots is certified for specific export and private brand label requirements such as Verified Natural Beef (VNB) and non-hormone treated cattle (NHTC) through IMI Global’s third-party verification program.
Our management program focuses on health and nutrition management, marketing strategies, and statistical reporting using our unique “Gregory Performance Management Program.” Our management program provides data you can use to improve the genetics and profitability of your herd.
We would love to discuss your cattle program and introduce you to ours. As part of our process, we would also be happy to provide you with a breakeven projection for when you finish your cattle with us.
Pre-Feedlot Vaccine Recommendations
Before delivering cattle to the feedlot, we recommend the following procedure.
1st Round
Preferrably two weeks before weaninig:
- 5-way modified-live vaccine
- Pasteurella vaccine
- Somnus vaccine
- 7-way vaccine
For best results, calves should be weaned at least 45 days before delivery to the feedlot. At weaning, calves should be started on a balanced starter ration and gradually increased to a ration with a higher grain concentration. This will allow the calves to better acclimate to their new diet once they are delivered to the feedlot.
It is recommended that vaccinations during this period should not be administered during times of high stress. For example, during or directly after any adverse weather conditions or immediately following the transport of the animals from one location to another.
2nd Round
14-21 days after first round, or two weeks after weaning:
- 5-way modified-live vaccine
- Pasteurella vaccine
- Somnus vaccine
- 7-way vaccine
- Non-TB implant
- Dewormer
Also, please make sure the calf has an ear tag before arrival. Electronic ID (EID) tags and numbered tags will be given to calves upon arrival at the feedlot but an original tag may be needed for you to cross-reference. EID tags will allow for the collection of individual carcass data at harvest.
