Beefmaster Group Supports Commercial Cattle Sales and Exports
(BBU) Commercial Marketing Ser- vices program helps cattle producers fi nd and sell good Beefmaster and Beefmaster-infl uenced cattle and works to positively infl uence the demand for these cattle. This program builds on the per-
formance of Beefmaster cattle, the success of BBU’s breed improve- ment, educational and research programs and provides hands-on marketing support. BBU Commercial Marketing Ser-
vices works directly with buyers and sellers through pertinent mar- keting and educational channels to help Beefmaster and Beefmaster- infl uenced producers realize the full value of their cattle. This may include • direct ranch trades to feeders
and stockers • conducting commingled feeder
calf sales for the benefi t of producers with limited herd numbers • providing producers with more
extensive herd numbers the op- portunity to participate in special Beefmaster sections on video sales • offering an alternative pricing mechanism by which cattlemen can
discover the true value of the cattle they produce. Through the BBU Commercial
Marketing Services program, cattle producers • are encouraged to vaccinate
and wean calves before they leave the ranch • are given feedback from the
feeder and packer on the feedlot and carcass performance of the cattle • receive the services of a liaison
between calf producers, feeders and packers in locating Beefmaster and Beefmaster-infl uenced cattle • benefit from the promotion
of the value of Beefmasters to seg- ments of the industry • have an advocate with unbi-
ased research to dispel myths as- sociated with Beefmaster cattle • are represented by BBU fi eld
service as a customer service tool for their bull buyers • are encouraged to replace cull
cows with E6 heifers • add value to their herds by
being able to enroll young cattle in the E6 Program with the goal of having an entire herd of E6 females • have access to registered Beef-
master bulls and can ask that reg- istration papers be transferred to them.
