The American consumer has demonstrated to us that the safety and quality
of the food which they eat is one of their top priorities. As beef producers,
it is our responsibility to insure that every animal which leaves our
operations has been managed and treated correctly. This will insure
that when the animal leaves the farm to go to the next link in the beef
production chain it will be a fault free product to put the finishing
touches on. If everyone does this, we are taking a huge step towards
securing an even brighter future for our industry.
One of the primary goals of Tennessee's
BQA program is to bring our BQA efforts to the same level of many
other states' BQA programs. Why should we care about other states? It's
pretty simple. The states that buy higher quality, source verified,
Tennessee feeder cattle with a sound health program will be assured
that these calves are ready to go. Many of the alliances and branded
beef product lines are also demanding these calves. In short, the most
progressive beef programs in the country are demanding high quality,
properly managed cattle with sound vaccination program. Cattle that
are source verified and their producers are BQA Certified will attract
buyers because they help insure a higher quality final product...BEEF.
INDUSTRY COUNTS ON STOCKERS TO ENSURE CATTLE QUALITY
Genetics were selected years ago; calving and weaning are complete, so the next place that really matters in the beef production chain is the feedlot. Right? GELDINGS ARE A HAPPIER WORKING PARTNER
Horse owners often decide early in the colt's life whether he shows the promise of being a quality stallion or will be a happier and more willing work partner as a gelding. FREEZE BRANDING OFFERS PRODUCERS AN ALTERNATIVE
Hot iron branding of livestock is the oldest form of permanent identification, practiced on other continents for hundreds of years, and was adopted very early in the American West as proof of ownership. Freeze branding is a relatively new innovation, developed at Washington State University in 1966 by Dr. Keith Farrell. MONITOR FEEDING REQUIREMENTS OF EARLY WEANED CALVES
Meeting the nutritional needs of a young calf might sound familiar to parents of young children: feed well, feed often and prepare for pickiness. LARGE CROWD GATHERS FOR SALACOA VALLEY FEMALE SALE
A large crowd gathered on a beautiful Georgia afternoon for Salacoa Valley Farms Brangus female sale. NEMAHA VALLEY ANGUS PARTNERS WITH CERTIFIED ANGUS BEEF LLC
A northeast Kansas diversified farm became the first in that corner of the state to license with Certified Angus Beef LLC in the Feedlot Licensing Program. IT'S THE PITTS - TERMS OF ENDEARMENT
I hate it when people I don't even know call me terms of endearment such as honey, darling, pet, precious, sugar or angel. USE OF SEXED SEMEN IN BEEF CATTLE CAN BE BENEFICIAL
The first sex-selected calf conceived from frozen sexed semen was born in the early 1990's, and in 2004 this technology became commercially available. BLACK INK - SORTING
Low-stress cattle handling is becoming a mainstream practice, but have you ever thought about the ultimate low-stress sorting systemright from your computer? PUREBRED VS. COMMERCIAL NUTRITIONAL NEEDS MAY DIFFER
In the beef cattle industry there has been discussion in many shapes and forms concerning feeding and nutrition of purebred cattle. In many cases, the perception of purebred breeders is that purebred cattle have significantly different nutrient requirements than commercial cattle. This may be true in some respects but possible not for the reasons the producer suspects. This article will discuss some of these perceptions. NEW FENCING TECHNOLOGY ADDS LIFE TO OPERATION
Cattlemen value longevity, whether it's the genetics that roam the pastures or the equipment needed to get the job done. Many operations have a dinosaur like pick-up that drinks fuel way too fast and can be cantankerous on certain mornings, but owners are quick to defend by saying it will last another year. Fences are the same way. HUNTIN' DAYLIGHT - - FIGURE OUT WHERE YOU STAND
Look at any chart depicting average cow-calf profitability through the years and a thinking person has to ask the obvious questions: Why on earth would anyone be in the cattle business and how could anyone remain in the business over the long haul if they wanted to? PLAN EARLY TO INSURE REPRODUCTIVE EFFICIENCY IN THE BREEDING HERD
It is never too early to be looking ahead; in fact it is a necessary management skill. For the cow/calf operation, calving season means looking ahead to the breeding season. DON'T OVERLOOK WATER AS AN ESSENTIAL NUTRIENT
It's July and those sweltering summer temperatures continue to creep higher and higher. As the sweat beads trickle down and clothes stick to the body like glue, one of the first things a person wants to reach for besides the air conditioner knob is a tall glass of ice cold water. Water is essential to our survival, whether it's helping us cool down or providing essential nutrients needed to sustain life.
