The feeder cattle business is straightforward. We buy calves, graze them in good pastures, take care of their health working with only experienced professional ranchers and vets, and then sell them for beef after they achieve the desired weight gain. We graze our cattle in pastures planted with high-protein grass.
Buying calves at the end of the dry season, we let them graze through the wet months before selling them as the next dry season gets into full swing. This way we minimize the amount of additional feed and water the cattle may need. Our veterinarians are involved every step of the way to ensure that our cattle are healthy and eating right. Calcium, salt and other vitamins are given to the cattle on a regular basis to promote health and weight gain.
We NEVER use steroids or anything other than all-natural, safe and effective supplements. Our experience with brahman cattle has been that we can increase weight by an average of 500lbs per head in just 8 months. Our senepol and simmental crosses are doing better. A small amount of beef is held back each cycle to be aged and shipped to our partners for their tables.
