Depending on your area and climate and your management practices, when having cattle in a drylot where feed is fed in feeders and not out in a pasture, you should provide clean bedding such as straw for animals to keep them from freezing and getting frostbitten udders or scrotums. Pens should also be cleaned out annually (or as many times as necessary) to keep manure from building up too much.
Good handling practices is also a key to keeping your cattle healthy. Stress causes the immune system to decrease functionality, which in turn increases an animal's of getting sick and contracting some form of disease. Stress also reduces productivity in animals from milk quantity to meat quality.
