the uspb qualified seedstock supplier label signifies that we are committed to producing high-quality genetics for all traits; especially the carcass traits required to produce premiums on a value-based grid.
We strongly believe the end product of the beef industry is the most important. Regardless of which sector you’re in, the combination of quality genetics alongside good management practices makes the difference in any cattleman’s bottom line. Since 2001, all of our home-raised fed cattle have been sold through U.S. Premium Beef (USPB), a producer- owned marketing company that provides incentive through quality-based grid pricing. Before joining USPB, we felt like the cattle we were selling were above average; but our commitment to genetics and feed management weren’t rewarded and we had no retainable data after they left the farm. Carcass data from the first year we sent cattle to USPB showed 88% Choice and 34.3% CAB or prime, which was more than double the national average at the time. After 20 years of tracking the data and making sound genetic selections, we’re still improving: most recently, grading 99.98% Choice and 25% Prime. As USPB Quality Seedstock Providers , we can provide progressive cattlemen with genetics to actaully breed better beef.
