Steer Gets Health Bath

Denver Post

This Hereford steer has just come up after a thorough dunking in a 4,400-gallon dip tank at the Monfort Feed Lots, Inc., near Greeley, Colo. It is one of 25,000 head of cattle being dipped in pesticide to halt an outbreak of scabies at the giant feedlot. Between 3,500 and 4,000 cattle a day are being run through the tank, 42 feet long and 7 feet deep.
