The Cattle Coach Show

Do's and Don'ts of Buying and Breeding Recip Cows


Listen Later

In this episode of the Cattle Coach Show, get ready to walk through the essential steps and best practices for buying and managing recipient (recip) cows aimed at maximizing productivity and profitability in show cattle operations. Kolten emphasizes the importance of focusing on the late summer to early fall calving window, particularly for club calves.

The episode provides detailed do's and don'ts, such as buying bred recips instead of open ones, purchasing them months in advance, and limiting the number of embryo transfers.

Practical tips include turning a bull out post-embryo transfer for maintaining cash flow and retention of the cattle. The overall guidance ensures that operations can achieve higher conception rates, better cash flow, and prolonged usability of recips.

This show dives into the world of elite show cattle producers—highlighting successful financial, show ring, and stock management strategies from elite breeders to junior exhibitor families. We unpack advanced cattle operation tools like embryo transfer and artificial insemination (AI), how to professionally manage recip and donor herds in order to make money and gain a competitive edge with every generation. Each episode explores the nuances of high quality cattle selection, next level money management,  genetic defect testing practices, plus show ring success strategies and mastering breeding decisions. We also highlight modern marketing strategies through online sales and digital marketing for show cattle, while not neglecting the tried and true sales like live and private treaty—featuring interviews with producers utilizing live-stream auctions, social media promotion, and out of the pasture or barn private treaty sales practices to capture premium prices.

The Cattle Coach Show is ideal for seedstock and show calf breeders, show families, and livestock competitors aiming to combine financial strategy, genetic selection, and sales or show presentation to succeed in the ring and the business.”*
