Cattle Marketing And Genetics
Cattle Marketing And Genetics
Most of Virginia’s annual crop of calves leave the state after they have had time to grow on our lush pastures. They are generally purchased by cattle feeders in the Corn Belt states or the Great Plains who provide them a ration of grain byproducts, corn and roughage for a period of feeding prior to slaughter. The cattle feeders that purchase Virginia cattle are looking for calves that have been bred with excellent genetics for beef quality and have benefited from sound management practices that ensure they are healthy and thrive after their trip westward. This week’s column discusses two separate opportunities for Rockbridge cattle producers to address both the genetics and health management of their calves they plan to market. 01/10/2023 11:00 PM
