What does “Good Cattle” mean to you?
Traveling as a college judging coach and a seedstock producer you get the opportunity to visit a lot of great operations and pick the brains of the best cattleman this country has to offer. It’s always been interesting to me how many different meanings the phrase “Good Cattle” can have. The term is used totally different by the guy that just Ave $7000 on his 200 hd bull sale from the feedlot owner that’s feeding a pen of steers that are converting like champions. Even a bigger contrast might be between the show cattle guy that just won Denver and the Grass and cake guy that wants his cows no bigger than a 1000 lbs and can live on sage brush and rabbit tracks. Amazingly enough the saying is applicable, in it’s varying meanings, to all these guys for different reasons. Each one feels like their kind of “Good Cattle” are the key to profitability.
I ask why “Good Cattle” have to be one or another?
• Why can’t we raise cattle that are structurally sound, big footed and good moving that can cover country and breed cows?
• Why can’t we raise cattle that are 3 dimensional enough in their build to grow, convert feed and kill like “good cattle “can?
• Why can’t we raise cattle that are built good enough to look like “good cattle” do and maternal enough to stay in the herd like “Good Cattle” should?
The answer is, we do and you can!
At Black Summit Cattle we are 100% committed to providing bulls with the genetic value and Quality to sire “Good Cattle” for you. We use genomically enhanced E.P.D.’s along with Right Choice technology to identify the cattle that have the ability to be seedstock. Once they are identified to have the genetics to be of value to you, they are evaluated on quality and structure. We believe “good cattle” are good looking because they’re built right. “Good Cattle” are laid back in their shoulder, good hipped and soft legged. They’re big footed, bold ribbed and stout pinned. They’re long, wide and deep!
We use selection pressure by feeding the bulls enough to express their genetic ability and also test their foot quality. The bulls are developed on a long, steep, rocky hill where they have to climb each day to the feed bunk to eat a high roughage ration. This keeps them athletic and in good shape.
We believe these bulls are developed as good as any and are ready to make “Good Cattle” for you.
