From the Field
commercial producers. How?
You ask, NALF and IGS know
the power of data and when
presented appropriately, it has a
positive impact upon not only a
producer’s bottom-line but also
the buyer’s bottom-line. When
these two industry members
win, everyone including the
seedstock producer wins.
Moving forward how do you
as a breeder take advantage
of this tool? First step is
to contact International
Genetic Solutions by visiting
the IGS website at www.

com to learn more about the IGS
Feeder Profit Calculator™ and
how it can help your program.
Secondly, commercial producer
information is critical and is
data that I am happy to help
collect. Some of this information
includes; sire information,
cow-herd make-up and pre-
conditioning programs all being
variables that NALF can assist
with acquiring. After obtaining
this data, it may be submitted
through the International
Genetic Solutions webpage
under the IGS Feeder Profit
Calculator™ tab. If assistance
or more information is need
throughout the process, please
as always feel free to call or
email me at [email protected] . I
look forward to our discussion
from registered to commercial
and in the beef industry as
a whole it is always a joy to
discuss Limousin Genetics.
Until next time, good luck
and God bless. I
