Two addresses, and they go to different places. Picking the right one gets you a faster answer.
First, if an animal is in trouble
Call your veterinarian, not us.
A down cow, a ewe struggling to lamb, a bloated steer, an animal going downhill through the day: none of that waits for email, and nobody here is watching an inbox for it. A large animal vet who can put hands on the animal is the only useful answer.
If you do not have a practice yet, your extension office or your local sale barn can tell you who is taking clients. Sort that out on a quiet day.
Corrections and sources
Use this if a figure looks wrong, a source is missing, or something here does not match what your extension service publishes.
Stocking rates and forage figures shift by region more than almost anything in farming, so a mismatch is not always an error. Tell us which publication you are reading against and we can work out which it is.
What helps:
- The page address
- The figure you are questioning
- The publication you are comparing it against, if you have it
Corrections usually go up the same week.
Topic suggestions go to this address too. We read every one, and they tell us which gaps actually matter to people.
Everything else
Advertising, partnerships, a broken page, a permissions request, or a question about how the site is put together.
This is also the address for privacy and data requests. Our privacy policy explains what we hold.
What we cannot help with
Four things get asked often enough to be worth saying up front.
Diagnosing an animal. A photo and a paragraph cannot do it, and a guess would be worse than no answer. Call a vet.
Doses and treatment. We publish no doses anywhere on the site, and we will not give one by email. That comes from the label and your veterinarian.
Guest posts, paid links, and sponsored content. We do not accept any of it, so there is no need to ask.
Valuing or selling your animals. Not something we cover. Your sale barn or breed association is the place for that.
When you will hear back
Three business days for most things. Corrections move faster than that.
If nothing comes back, check your spam folder and then write again. Mail does get lost.
Who runs the site
LivestockFarming.org is operated by Jumma Programs, registered in Bangladesh. Five people research, write, verify, and edit the guides, and you can see who they are on the About page.
The guides cover raising livestock in the United States, which is where the research we cite comes from.
