Summary

Cargill Animal Nutrition has recalled 160 bags (50 lbs each) of Nutrena NutreBeef Calf Grower Pellet 12/1.5 (M12) (STL) Medicated feed. This medicated calf feed contains dangerously high levels of Monensin, a drug ingredient used to prevent infections. These specific bags were distributed in Montana, Wyoming, and Utah and were manufactured at the Sterling, Colorado facility. Owners of cattle should immediately stop using this specific feed and return any remaining bags to the place of purchase for a full refund.
