I think you have heard this before: you cannot have your cake and eat it too, especially in ranching or farming with livestock.

I am referring to producing as many pounds as possible of calf per acre but with emphasis on getting a good price for your calves in the conventional market.

Terminal cattle will excel on a feedlot with a high grain ratio but will have dismal performance out on pasture or range with little input and pampering.

Friends, that is not in your best interest!

Join me in today’s podcast as I will give very good options to improve your conversion efficiency of grass to pounds of weaned calves while still maintaining a herd of well-adapted and efficient females and catering to the order buyers at the sale barn.
