foragers from Scotland.

Purebred Operations
• Purpose is to produce seed stock cattle. These cattle are used as the dams and sires of the calves that will be grown to market weight.
• Growing purebred stock allows breeders to concentrate on improving and accentuating the advantages of a particular breed.
![Page 27: Beef Cattle. Cattle History People started keeping cattle around 8000 years ago for food (milk, blood, meat) and load bearers or plows. There 2, maybe.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649db95503460f94aa92ce/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Beef Production
• Cow-Calf Production: Own cows, sell weaner calves
• Stocker: Buy weaner calves, sell yearlings
• Feedlot Finishing: Buy calves, fatten, sell to slaughter house
![Page 28: Beef Cattle. Cattle History People started keeping cattle around 8000 years ago for food (milk, blood, meat) and load bearers or plows. There 2, maybe.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649db95503460f94aa92ce/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Cow-Calf Production• Most common & usually crossbred calves. • Need range land, brought in at weaning.• Calve in spring, sell calves in fall at 500#
(prefer castrated, vaccinated, good health)• Feed 2# roughages per 100# of cow weight
in winter (extra for cold weather)• Supplement with needed proteins,
minerals, vitamins • Feed best hay to those that need it the
most (pregnant, lactating, heifers)• Lots of clean water & free choice salt
![Page 29: Beef Cattle. Cattle History People started keeping cattle around 8000 years ago for food (milk, blood, meat) and load bearers or plows. There 2, maybe.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649db95503460f94aa92ce/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Stocker Operations
• Provide step between the weaning of calves and the finishing of the animal prior to slaughter.
• Weaned calved are placed on pasture and fed a ration to allow for skeletal and muscular growth. Before calves are sold to a feedlot for finishing, they must be physically mature.
![Page 30: Beef Cattle. Cattle History People started keeping cattle around 8000 years ago for food (milk, blood, meat) and load bearers or plows. There 2, maybe.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649db95503460f94aa92ce/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Feedlot Finishing
• Producers usually want sufficient fat cover to allow the animals to grade low choice.
• Feed high concentrates (grain) 2-4 months.• Feedlots range in size from less than 100
head to thousands of head each year.• When animals reach proper degree of
finishing, they are sold to slaughter. Usually around 18 to 24 months, weighing 800 to 1500# depending on breed and body type.
