| 6/19/26 | ![]() Summer Research and Herd Management: From Vitamin Stability to Confinement Strategies | Joined by guest Logan Thompson, this episode of BCI Cattle Chat covers a wide range of topics, beginning with updates on current cattle research projects underway during the summer. Researchers discuss ongoing work in areas such as semen evaluation technology, stocker cattle supplementation, grazing system optimization, and respiratory disease investigation. A key theme is how research helps refine management practices over time, even though results often require multiple trials to confirm reliability. The conversation then shifts to a listener question about vitamin A stability, highlighting how vitamin levels can degrade over time—especially in mineral mixes—and emphasizing strategic purchasing and seasonal supplementation. The team also discusses magnesium supplementation, noting that risk depends heavily on forage type, with cool-season grasses posing the greatest threat for deficiencies like grass tetany. They emphasize tailoring supplementation to specific conditions such as lactation stage and pasture type rather than applying blanket recommendations. Another major topic examines the feasibility of raising cow-calf pairs in confinement systems. While possible, this approach introduces challenges including increased labor, higher feed costs, ventilation requirements, and greater disease risk—especially during calving. Experts suggest that confinement may work best when used strategically, such as outside of calving season or in combination with grazing systems. Overall, the episode stresses the importance of adapting management decisions to specific operations, balancing economics, animal health, and available resources. | — | ||||||
| 6/12/26 | ![]() Understanding Neurologic Cases in Cattle: Diagnosis, Causes, and Prevention | This discussion focuses on how to recognize, evaluate, and manage neurologic (brain-related) cases in cattle. Common clinical signs include stumbling, circling, weakness, apparent blindness, head pressing, and paddling when animals are down, all of which indicate issues affecting the nervous system. Diagnosing these cases begins with key questions about the animal’s age, environment, recent management changes, and how many animals are affected. Neurologic problems may stem from several major categories, including toxins, infectious diseases, and metabolic disorders, with each requiring a different response. Toxic causes are especially important, with lead exposure being one of the most common, particularly in young, curious animals. Other causes can include sulfur toxicity, water deprivation (salt toxicity), and certain feed or environmental exposures. A thorough physical exam and, when possible, necropsy and lab testing are critical steps in determining the exact cause. The number of animals affected can provide valuable clues, as widespread cases often suggest a shared exposure like a toxin. The discussion also highlights the importance of water management, especially in summer, emphasizing both water quality and access. Improper rehydration of severely dehydrated cattle can lead to fatal complications, so water must be reintroduced gradually. Overall, early investigation and veterinary involvement are essential to identify the root cause and prevent additional losses within the herd. | — | ||||||
| 6/8/26 | ![]() Building Better Cows: Smart Heifer Development from Day One | Joined by special guest Dr. Lee Jones from Boehringer Ingelheim, this episode focuses on effective heifer development as a foundation for long-term herd success, emphasizing the importance of selecting the right genetics and defining clear production goals. This conversation explores how early-life management—including colostrum intake, vaccination programs, and nutrition—plays a critical role in building immunity and supporting growth. They highlight key health risks such as bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) and stress the value of customized herd health plans developed with a veterinarian. Reproductive efficiency is another major theme, with strategies to ensure heifers reach puberty on time, breed early, and maintain long-term productivity. The group also evaluates whether heifers should calve at 24 or 30 months, weighing economic and logistical trade-offs. Overall, the conversation underscores that thoughtful planning and consistent management are essential to producing productive, profitable cows.

| 1/23/26 | ![]() When to Start Treatment, Treatment Protocols, Antimicrobial Resistance | On this week’s BCI Cattle Chat episode, the experts debate whether you should start treatment as soon as signs of the disease appear or if you should wait for the signs to develop to have a clear diagnosis. The ability to modify the therapeutic plan can be valuable, but it needs to be balanced with consistency that allows better evaluation of treatment outcomes. The team also debated treatment protocols. Being flexible in planning is important, but deviations from the protocol should be kept to a minimum. Lastly, they discussed antimicrobial resistance and its role in the cause of death with respiratory diseases. 2:37 When to Start Treatment 10:03 Treatment Protocol 19:31 Antimicrobial Resistance For more on BCI Cattle Chat, follow us on X at @ksubci, Facebook, and Instagram at @ksubci.
