The entire herd is on a complete vaccination program for 7-way clostridium, IBR-BVD-BRSV-PI3, Hamophilus Somnuns, Pasturella, Leptospirosis and Vibriosis. All females are calfhood vaccinated for brucellosis. All animals are treated twice annually with dewormer pour-on. Every bull has passed a breeding soundness exam and semen test. All bulls tested BVD PI free. All Bulls are AM & NH free by pedigree or DNA test.
All Simmental and SimAngus bulls are homozygous black. Several years ago we tested all our cows and have tested all subsequent offspring until we have only homozygous black females and use only homozygous black sires.

McDonald Farms Bull Management
We believe that the natural resource of forages in this area is our greatest asset when it comes to livestock production. We strive to produce cattle that can utilize this resource to optimal levels. We also know that our end product must meet or exceed the expectations of all our customers, from the commercial cattle
producer, the feedlot operators, the packers and our ultimate customer the consumer. We have selected these cattle for calving ease, growth performance, milking ability, carcass quality, and calm disposition. They have been performance tested on forage rations in big pastures. We want to produce Decathloners and not a Sumo wrestler. They have been tested to be BVD-PI free, AMF/NHF/CAF, and ultrasounded. They have passed Breeding Soundness Exams and Semen tests. They are stout strong bulls ready to go to work.
