ANGUS BEEF BULLETIN EXTRA

May 20, 2019 | Vol. 12 : No. 5

Input Wanted

Share your ideas on weaning, bull selection.

This fall, the Angus Beef Bulletin will publish issues focused on weaning and prepping for breeding season. As we did with tagging tips, we’d like to get your input to share with the rest of our audience.

What’s your tip for weaning success?

Do you have a handling tip to share with other cattlemen? How do you get calves on feed? What’s your vaccination strategy? Do you have a suggestion for sorting?

What’s your criteria for selecting bulls?

Where do you go to find bulls? How do you select them? Do you require certain health protocols? Do you prioritize certain traits? Do you look at several seedstock sources, or have you relied on one seedstock source? Either way, why? What do you want seedstock suppliers to provide to help you make your bull selection decisions?

Please email your comments to shermel@angus.org, or mail them to Shauna Hermel, editor, Angus Beef Bulletin, 3201 Frederick Ave., Saint Joseph, MO 64506.
