The 90 head of mixed breed cattle are loaned to the Forage Animal Production Unit for approximately 6 months of the project. These cattle are subjected to specific grazing treatments. There is a need to purchase 30 of these cattle following the grazing portion of the research project that have been treated identically to those on the project for a pen study for assessing recovery from fescue toxicosis and tissue levels of ergot alkaloids. Theses cattle have undergone this set of controlled treatments and therefore are the only cattle that will meet our research requirement.
