Feeding your cattle
Partner up for feeding
As in the Old West, success in today’s consumer-focused cattle business depends on finding partners you can trust. You might list a banker, nutritionist and bull supplier as partners in a sense, but have you considered partnering with a cattle feeder?
Historical research shows producers usually make money by retaining ownership of their calves through the feeding stage. That’s true on the average, so if you have unknown or below-average cattle, the risk is greater. However, if you have above average cattle, you may be leaving serious money on the table by not retaining ownership.
