weight loss and health issues for the
simple fact that they know where the
feed and water is in their own pastures.
Weaning is not for everyone but if you
can handle the extra labor and your
fences are well maintained, those 45-
60 days off of the cow can mean big
dollars. If you have large groups of
cattle, verifying your programs with IMI
Global can also impress buyers. Natural
and NHTC programs are growing, as
well as GAP (Global Animal Partnership)
humane handling certifications.
Investing in quality genetics is also
important and the North American
Limousin Foundation (NALF) is
committed to supplying the most
cutting edge scientifically sound data
and EPD tools for your selections.
Feeders now more than ever are
pushing genetics and performance
in the cattle they buy. With margins
tight and feed cost high, cattle that can
perform, convert and gain efficiently to
a high weight, like Limousin and Lim-
Flex cattle, are worth a premium. This
is where purchasing your seedstock
from a reputable breeder can make
a difference. We are seeing this in
particular at video auctions, like
Superior Livestock Auction and Western
Video Market, where they are marking
cattle with progressive genetics and
progressive breeders behind them.
As a beef producer of either seedstock or
commercial cattle, continually following
the right protocols and treating your
customers as you would want to be
treated will build a reputation for square
dealing and quality. This reputation is
one we should all strive for in order to
do what’s right by our bank accounts,
our families, our cattle, and the
global product that is U.S. beef. I
