Importance Of Healthy Calves At The Backgrounder
Utilizing stockers and backgrounders to get cattle up to feed and in good health can play a very important role prior to cattle entering the feedlot. These calves have just been weaned and are going through an important growth and training stage before they enter the feedlot. Cattle are learning how to eat at the bunk and consuming a concentrate diet, all while battling any new diseases and stressors.

Value Proposition
Animal Health Monitoring
From the Backgrounder through the animal’s full life at the feedyard. Traditional methods for identifying sick animals in cattle operations is very limited. Research shows that the current method of diagnosing sick animals isn’t very effective. This is why Quantified Ag® built an objective remote monitoring ear tag that can help cattle producers find sick animals earlier and more accurately.
