Over the last several weeks, we've shared information about the New World Screwworm and the potential risks it poses to livestock. Today, we'd like to shift the conversation from the threat itself to what producers are doing every day to protect their herds.
The reality is that good cattle management doesn't start when a problem arrives—it starts long before.
Across the cattle industry, ranchers are:
✔️ Monitoring livestock closely
✔️ Treating cuts, wounds, and injuries promptly
✔️ Working alongside veterinarians and animal health professionals
✔️ Staying informed on animal health updates and recommendations
✔️ Maintaining strong fly-control programs
✔️ Focusing on proper nutrition and mineral supplementation to support overall herd health
At Triple Son Farms, we are continuing to monitor our cattle closely, treat animals promptly when needed, and utilize medicated minerals and feed supplements that contain fly-control products as part of our overall herd health program.
Our goal is the same as it has always been: healthy cattle, responsible stewardship, and producing a safe, wholesome product for consumers.
While discussions surrounding New World Screwworm continue, preparation and vigilance remain some of the most effective tools producers have. Staying informed and taking proactive steps today helps protect our herds tomorrow.
