tions to achieve specifi c production goals. These indices were developed by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, specifi cally working with Dr. Matt Spangler, associ- ate professor of animal science/Extension beef genet- ics specialist, and Katie Ochsner, animal breeding and genetics graduate student. The $T index helps buyers choose bulls that will excel in live performance, feedyard and value-adding, grid-driving carcass traits. The $M in- dex is best explained as the dollar profi t per cow exposed due to calf weaning weight accounting for costs associ- ated with cow maintenance. For more information, visit beefmas er

If you operate on western ranges, the calcium and iron in your mineral supplement is a waste of your money.
Look at the tag on the mineral bags you buy.
You will fi nd obsolete 1950s ingredients: monocalcium phosphate and dicalcium phosphate–when calcium is already excessive in your grass. And the calcium phosphates are loaded with “stealth iron,” up to 14,000 PPM iron, which ties up vital copper. Why buy cows what they don’t need? Why pay freight on it?
Before you pay for nutrients already on your range, call us.
You’d never buy something your cows don’t need. Right?
What’s in your grass?
