Rather than finding out three years later what kind of feeder calf or slaughter steer that heifer will produce, you can know now, at least in terms of feedlot performance and quality grade.
Myth—It’s easy for you guys to give out recommendations and say things like, “People will pay more for high quality.” You’re stuck there in your offices and we’re out here in the real world.
Some years, the schedule said it shouldn’t work. AI calves due Feb. 8 could arrive a week early, so I often had family or friends look in on the heifers at night while my Pioneer Woman checked them each morning.
I especially like looking through the bulls in their pens prior to the sale, after studying their genetics in the sale catalog.
