Cattle Feeding, Health

HEALTH

Simplot prides itself on it's exceptional animal health regime and the fact that we employ on-staff veterinarians.

Why do we have two on-staff vets?
We know that is it imperative to have a cattle health care provider available, monitoring the health of the pens on a daily basis. Reaction time can be a life saver. All animal health records are detailed and are available for you to view at any time.

Dr. Richard Fredrickson has been with Simplot for more than 17 years and has been a practicing vet for over 40 years. His experience is advantageous to the performance of your cattle. Having Dr. Fredrickson on staff, means that he is available to discuss your cattle’s health issues with you. Over the years Dr. Fredrickson has trialed products and heath regimes to know what works and what doesn’t, depending on if it’s a bawling calf to a 900 pound feeder steer. Experience counts!
