Spring turnout is one of the best days of the year — and one worth preparing for. Start with a health check. Turnout is the natural time to handle deworming and any spring vaccinations while the cattle are already gathered. Ease the transition to lush pasture. Moving from dry winter feed straight onto rich spring grass can cause digestive upset and bloat. Turn out on a full stomach and consider a transition mineral. Walk your fence first. A downed wire found on turnout day beats a phone call about cattle on the road.
