Setting them up for success
It’s all in the details at Will Feed, Inc., Cozad, Neb. The 3,000-head feedyard focuses on managing cattle and data in tandem to return the most money and information to the rancher. That’s why the business has licensed with Certified Angus Beef LLC (CAB).
AngusSource ’08 contest winners
The top groups in the 2008 AngusSource® Carcass Challenge (ASCC) “blew the doors off” average quality grades, says program director Sara Snider. Three feedlots won more than $1,000 in cash and prizes for first through fifth place finishes during the inaugural year of the contest. Entries consisted of at least 38 head of age-, source- and genetic-verified calves fed through the network of Certified Angus Beef LLC (CAB)-licensed partners.
Evocative, emotive “marbling”
Nearly all beef scientists and connoisseurs indicate that there are three key attributes to beef palatability: tenderness, juiciness and flavor. All brought to you through marbling, but it can be complicated to get it right.
Marbling governs beef flavor
The entire industry will have to work together to provide consumers with the beef they expect. Tenderness, flavor and juiciness are signs of strong marbling–giving producers a target they must weigh the many different management options that impact marbling.
Beef grading explained
When USDA graders stamp carcasses they estimate the eating experience for consumers and provide report cards for producers. They also measure cutability, or red meat yield.
Cows that work, calves that grade
Cattlemen can match both marbling and do-ability to a particular management system. However, trying to make progress with both traits may yield slower results than choosing one over the other.
