Abstract

I feel like a sheepman among cattlemen here this afternoon in talking about a topic such as "Pet" Beef Cattle Practice. I might as well have called it pleasure cow practice and I will not apologize but I will explain how I happened to come upon the assignment. Last year in a "bull session" with Dr. Harrington and a few others about practice concepts and directions about bovine practice, I made the remark that I had not heard much said in recent years about "pet" beef cattle practice as a replacement for the old backyard milk cow and that I thought it had potential for the bovine practitioner so I am here to talk about it!
