Association Perspective: Looking for Greener Pastures

Adapted from a release by Radale Tiner, American Angus Association

As a regional manager, I often hear of cattlemen looking for greener pastures or an easier way to do things for less while expecting more. The truth is, when we take shortcuts, we often end up not satisfied with the results. As you read this article, I hope you will see we need to do things the right way — even if it’s more expensive — because unsatisfactory results often cost more in the long run.

In regard to nutrition, we know the price of grain is at an all-time high. This makes us choose between feeding our cattle the way we have in the past or not feeding them the full amount we would have.
