What happens here
The presenter discusses deworming using Ivermectin, noting that some cattle require it based on fecal tests. He also mentions the plan for castrating the bulls, stating they are currently too large for the bander and will either need a larger bander, a vet to perform the procedure, or be taken to market. For identification, bulls/steers are tagged on the left ear, and heifers on the right ear.
Goal: Address cattle health needs beyond basic identification.
