All the bulls are fed at GRUND BEEF GENETICS – which allows us to keep the cattle in their natural surroundings and away from other feedlot cattle that could expose the bulls to numerous diseases found in a feedlot setting. The bulls also have a large pen for exercise. The bulls are weaned on a moderate energy ration and then are fed a denser ration for November, December and January. The bulls are weighed and ultrasounded the first of February and then are moved back to a moderate energy ration until sale time. We feel that 90 days of feeding a denser feed allows the bulls to sort themselves in terms of growth traits which is reflected in their EPD’s once weights are taken. The bull’s individual weights and pedigree helps determine his EPD’s. Our bulls typically ultrasound 0.15 to 0.20 backfat and are ready to breed cows at turnout time! UNDERSTANDING THE Feeding
