A Monday Marketing Tip
Many turn to one method or another because they know buyers will pay more at the auction for cattle with those qualifications. However, I get a lot of questions about who is looking for cattle with added DNA-based genetic verification, and where can they be marketed.
Knowing how often I get that question, I wanted to share some information here about an opportunity for anyone looking to market heifers with genomic information. If you’ve been using GeneMax™ to learn more about the marbling and growth potential of your commercial females or you’re breeding to bulls verified by genomic technology, check out this flyer for a marketing outlet you may not have considered.
Happy sale season!
