Cattleman’s Corner Radio

Welcome to the Cattlemen's Corner. I'm Brian Hale sitting in for the late Howard Hale as we continue his legacy of speaking with Cattlemen and women from around the globe.

Balancer cattle are registered hybrid seed stock that have documented pedigrees and expected progeny differences. Balancer animals are 25 to 75 percent gell-V with the balance of Angus or red Angus. Balancer cattle combine the gell-V growth, muscle, leanness, fertility, longevity and low yield grading ability with the carcass qualities of the Angus. Balancer cattle offer a simple and powerful way to maintain hybrid vigor and a profitable blend of British and continental genetics without a complicated crossbreeding system.

Hanging on the hook beef was established in 2022, but they've been providing butcher beef to family and friends for over 20 years. Beef comes from cattle that they raise on their own farm. Gary and Ladonna Ashenbrenner have been married for 32 years. They take pride in providing the highest quality meat. Grass raised, grain finished beef processed in a USDA inspected facility.

You can purchase the beef by individual cuts or try their bundle boxes and decide which is your favorite. Let's jump over to the shop at hangingonthehookbeef.com. That's the shop button on hangingonthehookbeef.com. Looks like they have 15-pound sampler boxes, summer grill boxes, variety boxes, crockpot box, filet mignon, flank steak, flat iron steak, comfort foods favorite and more.

Visit hangingonthehookbeef.com. If you're concerned about where your beef comes from, now you can get it directly from the ranch. From their farm to your table, hanging on the hook beef. We're hoping to get Gary or Ladonna on the phone with us on a future program right here on the cattleman's corner.

That's going to do it for today. Thanks again for listening and may God bless. I'm Brian Hale.

Join us as Darren Dale from Star Expos gives us a quick update on the Sep 6-7 Farm Show that he's putting on September 6-7 in Torrington and Hawk Springs Wyoming.
