Real World Performance
One unique aspect of our program is we continually evaluate the feedlot performance and actual carcass data of our herdsires in a random mating test herd. In addition, we have feedlot and carcass data from several years of our own calves and customer calves sired by Stockmen’s Source bulls. The steer mates and cull heifer mates to the bulls are all finished at 4+ Feeders by our great partners and crew. We continue working to derive more carcass weight and grid premiums from our feedlot cattle while maintaining cows that work within the constraints of our resources. We focus on using bulls with actual carcass data that stretch the antagonism between carcass weight and mature daughter size to produce more pounds of beef with the same inputs. In addition to our own calves we feed Stockmen’s Source sired calves from customers and bid on many others. We can not buy all the customer calves that are offered, but will sure try to find you the best market if we are not able to purchase them. We look forward to feeding more in the future. Our cattle consistently earn us premiums on the Tyson grid we utilize, and they have the muscle it takes to generate a lot of payweight and yield while keeping discounts to a minimum. In addition, our test herd cattle are undergoing genomic testing through the American Simmental Association coupled with collection of individual carcass data to help strengthen the correlation between genomic estimations and actual carcass data. One thing we have failed to mention in the past that is worth noting: we feed enough calves out of these bulls that we select for health as well. Meaning if they need treated, they become a steer around here. We may make an exception for an injury occasionally, but it is bad business for both of us if we sell you a bull that required treatment for BRD and then buy back calves out of him. It is in our best interest to keep your best interest in mind. Kill Date: 10/21/24
