Oklahoma Steer Feedout Program Beneficial to Cow-Calf Producers
Wed, 20 Jul 2011 10:27:08 CDT
The Oklahoma Steer Feedout Program is an educational program that allows cattle producers to have a taste of the feedlot world, while still learning more about their cattle.
Greg Highfill, Oklahoma State University Livestock Extension Specialist, heads up the program and says it not only benefits the producer in the lot, but also in the packing plant. Highfill also says it allows producer to produce quality cattle that have a high cutability and high quality carcass in the packing plant.
Cattlemen's Choice Feedyard, near Gage, Okla., has fed many of the cattle involved in the Oklahoma Steer Feedout Program over several years. Dale Moore, with the Cattlemen's Choice Feedyard, says they help the program participants as much as any customer by providing them the full line of carcass data. Moore says the program really helps producers to get a feel for what their cattle would do in a feedlot situation.
