Show COUNTY AGENTS NOTES Have you livestock men checked your cattle for lice recently? While we were conducting a freeze hrand demonstration ln Panguitch Monday, we had to clip the hair from the animal where the brand . was to applied. I noticed a fairly heavy infestation of cattle lice on most of the animals Cattle with a heay infesta tio of lice will not gain as they should. They show an unthrifty appearance and a depressed attitude. Lice infestation Is greatest during this time of the year and Up until they lose their 1 air In the spring. Why not put a lice control program into effect on your ranch. Select a day to spray your cattle when the temperature is mild. A good spray is no harder on cattle than a snow or rain storm. Contact the County Extension Agent for a leaflet dealing with lice control. AH cattlemen mark the date February 13 on your calendar for a livestock tour. You will hear more about the tour next week. |
