Stocker-Yearling cattle can complement cow-calf operations by providing flexibility in utilizing grazing resources. In this month’s BeefWatch Producer Perspective Podcast, John Ravenscroft from Cherry County, Nebraska discusses how the Three Bar Cattle Company utilizes home raised and purchased calves to grow as stocker-yearlings to complement their cow-calf operation.
Topics discussed include:
- History of the operation and changes that have been made.
- How home raised and purchased calves complement the cow-calf enterprise by utilizing wet meadows and other grazing resources.
- The different methods of marketing that are utilized to sell yearling cattle.
The BeefWatch podcast is the audio companion to the monthly BeefWatch newsletter and also features bonus interviews such as the Producer Perspective.
