“A business without a Plan or Goals won’t know where it is
going and certainly won’t know when or if it gets there.”
The beef industry has made great progress in the last 25 years, but
when we have departed from well thought out plans focused on the
goal of “efficiently producing high quality beef” and instead have gotten
caught up in Fads-we have lost ground.
We think there are two easy ways to manage
commercial breeding systems that work in most
of our trade area.
System 1-
Use a total Angus breeding program. This is in many ways is the
the simplest system to manage, sinceonly one breed of bulls is purchased
and one EPD data base relied upon. This sytem can be
used as a breed-up program from other breed bases and replacement
heifers kept. This system can be focused on the multiple
goals of an efficient cowherd and high grading feedlot cattle.
System 2-
Use Charolais terminal cross bulls. this system works best with an
Angus cowherd. Charolais x Angus “smoky” feeder cattle are the
most sought after feeder cattle by feedlots everywhere. Mixed
cowherds can also benefit from a Charolais bull. These calves are
more uniform and the added growth and yield can add value to
mixed feeders.
There is no doubt heterosis (hybrid vigor) is real, but our expereince
with it in the past, if undisciplined, created many problems in the cow-
herd. System 2 allows you to capture the high growth and yield in the
feedlot from both steers and heifers produced, but requires replace-
ment heifers to be purchased or a portion of the herd be bred Angus.
The decision of breeding system to use should be carefully thought
out. If you currently have a cowherd, it should be carefully evaluated.
Your resources should be considered, along with your marketing op-
portunities. Your breeding systems decision need not be permanent,
but needs to be revisited fromtime to time. It should only be changed,
however, for sound economic reasons not fads.
