Committed to Quality

Hands enjoys each aspect of the cattle business, from calving to feeding. “It’s neat to see mother cows bringing life into the world and watching the whole process,” he says. “They raise a calf up to weaning size, and it’s neat to watch those calves out on wheat pasture, and then as they transition at the feedlot level to become a finished product. Then, we get that carcass data back and to see those end results altogether is very rewarding.”

An appreciation for the process and desire to continue improving drives the Triangle H program. Hands concludes, “I look at our ruminant animals and the amazing job they do of taking raw resources and turning them into a very highly desired, digestible protein with extreme quality that is sought after by consumers across the world. With today’s cost of production we just have to keep working at being efficient. People have the means and are willing to pay for higher quality so why not go for it.”
