Health RecordsThe success of a beef operation depends onthe health of your beef animals. Healthy cattlegrow better. They also adapt to environmentalchanges faster and more easily.An active health management protocol is veryimportant. A key component of any healthprotocol involves a relationship with the localveterinarian, which includes regular dialogue.Disease control and prevention, animaltraceback and good-quality beef products forconsumers require collaboration along theentire beef industry chain.Keep a record of vaccinations, antimicrobialsand parasiticids administered to cattle.Keeping this type of information can increasethe value of your animals.NDSU Extension CHAPS Calving Book – 71

ProcessingProcessing information helps you provide acomplete “picture” of how you manage youranimals . Work with your veterinarian to develop acomplete herd health program for your animals.Most herds process different classes of cattle(calves, cows, bulls or replacement heifers) thesame so recording individual ID is not needed. Asuggested method could be “Repl Heifers, Red#124-237.”However, sometimes individual animals are notprocessed along with others because of someunderlying condition such as too young, sick orinjured. The ID’s of these animals can be notedas NOT processed. A suggested method couldbe “Not Processed Repl Heifer #195, runningfever.”ProcessingDATE PROC – date of processingPROD – product name, serial numberIDs of animals NOT processed – When recordinginformation, it is often easier to record whichanimals were NOT processed on that day andrecord them as a “Treatment” at a later date.BY WHOM – person administering productNDSU Extension CHAPS Calving Book – 72

CHAPS Cow CullingCodesThe collection of performance data in beef cattlehas helped the industry move forward to evaluatemany different traits. In addition to directeconomic evaluations, producers can assessresource usage and benefits indirectly.Another major benefit of performance data isthe ability to evaluate traits that can be usefulin improving the quality of beef products sold toconsumers.G cow diedH cow sold, ageJ cow sold, physical defectK cow sold, poor fertility or openL cow sold, inferior calvesR cow sold, replacement stockY cow sold, unknownNDSU Extension CHAPS Calving Book – 82

Beef Improvement Federation (BIF)Body ConditionScoring (BCS) forBeef Cattle(Richards et al., 1986. J. Anim. Sci. 62:300.)Condition BCS DescriptionTHIN1: Emaciated – The cow is extremely emaciated,with no palpable fat detectable over the spinousprocesses, transverse processes, hip bonesor ribs. The tail head and ribs project quiteprominently.2: Poor – The cow still appears somewhatemaciated but the tail head and ribs are lessprominent. Individual spinous processes still arerather sharp to the touch, but some tissue coverexists over the dorsal portion of the ribs.3: Thin – Ribs still are individually identifiablebut not quite as sharp to the touch. Obviouspalpable fat is along the spine and over the tailhead, with some tissue cover over the dorsalportion of the ribs.4: Borderline – Individual ribs no longer arevisually obvious. The spinous processes canbe identified individually on palpation but feelrounded rather than sharp. Some fat cover is overthe ribs, transverse processes and hip bones.NDSU Extension CHAPS Calving Book – 88

OPTIMUM/MODERATE5: Moderate – The cow has a generally goodoverall appearance. On palpation, the fat coverover the ribs feels spongy and areas on either sideof the tail head have palpable fat cover.6: High moderate – Firm pressure needs to beapplied to feel the spinous processes. A highdegree of fat is palpable over the ribs and aroundthe tail head.FAT7: Good – The cow appears fleshy and obviouslycarries considerable fat. Very spongy fat cover isover the ribs and around the tail head. In fact,“rounds” or “pones” are beginning to be obvious.Some fat is around the vulva and in the crotch.8: Fat – The cow very fleshy and overconditioned. Spinous processes are almostimpossible to palpate. The cow has large fatdeposits over the ribs, around the tail headand below the vulva. “Rounds” or “pones” areobvious.9: Extremely fat – The cow is obviously extremelywasty and patchy and looks blocky. The tail headand hips are buried in fatty tissue and “rounds”or “pones” of fat are protruding. Bone structureno longer is visible and barely palpable. Theanimal’s mobility even might be impaired by largefatty deposits.NDSU Extension CHAPS Calving Book – 89
