As we head into the colder months, it’s a good time to review how cattle are set up for the season ahead. This month’s content focuses on key areas including preparing cattle for winter, managing the drying off period, and understanding when trace mineral and Vitamin B12 support may be beneficial.

Vitamin B12 is involved in energy metabolism, helping cattle convert nutrients from feed into usable energy. It works closely with trace minerals such as cobalt, which is required for B12 production in the rumen. When this process is limited, energy utilisation can be affected. Why deficiency isn’t always obviousUnlike some nutritional issues, Vitamin B12 deficiency

Drying off is more than just the end of a lactation period — it’s a key opportunity to reset cows and set them up for the next production cycle. How cows are managed during this time can influence body condition, recovery, and ultimately reproductive performance in the following season. Why drying off mattersThe drying off
Drying Off Cattle: Setting Up for the Next Season Read More »
Winter performance is often determined well before conditions tighten. As pasture quality declines and energy demand increases, cattle can begin to lose condition quickly if not managed early. While feed availability is a key part of the picture, it’s not the only factor influencing how animals perform through the colder months. Condition, nutrition and trace

Liver fluke is one of the more complex and often overlooked parasite challenges in livestock. In the right conditions, infections can build over time and impact animal performance before obvious signs appear. For producers in higher rainfall or irrigated areas, understanding fluke risk is critical. Unlike many gastrointestinal worms, liver fluke has a more complex

Across Australia, internal parasite control in both sheep and cattle is changing. The shift toward triple-active (“3-way”) drenches is not driven by marketing or fashion, but by necessity. On many properties, single- and dual-active drenches no longer provide reliable or predictable control. Anthelmintic resistance is now well established in sheep parasites and is increasingly recognised
