Feed, water, health, records.

01

Feeding

A bunk reader scores every pen's bunk before the morning feed and sets that day's quantity. The ration is milled on site and delivered to the bunks twice a day.

02

Animal health

Pen riders inspect every pen every day. An animal that shows signs of illness is moved to the hospital pen, treated under the feedlot's veterinary protocol and recorded with its treatment and its withdrawal period.

03

Records

Intake, treatments, feed delivered, mortalities and dispatches are recorded per pen and per animal, and the records follow the animal to the abattoir.

Cattle supply

Buying, feeding and selling cattle.

The feedlot buys weaners and feeder cattle from farmers and auctions, feeds them to slaughter weight and supplies the Springs abattoir.

Morgan Beef also feeds cattle for clients under a custom-feeding agreement, and sells cattle and feed to the trade.
