  • We stopped branding in 1976. We use ear tags and freeze branding, which are less painful, less dangerous, cause fewer infections, and best of all: result in quicker weight gain and less 'shrinkage' of calves. Also, we stopped routinely castrating. Bulls have a MUCH higher feed to meat ratio, make leaner beef and can be slaughtered at 12 to 14 months of age.

    Less pain & stress = better growth and quicker turnaround

    Quicker turnaround = higher profits!

    Also, no brand = much higher hide price!!

  • great poem we can't wait for the branding time. and we find help where ever we can
