We practice a conservative approach using our Total Herd Management Program in making breeding decisions to breed efficient cattle with desirable carcass traits that thrive on forages in a hot, humid environment. This is the seventh year we have used DNA test results as a tool in breeding cattle to select genetics with desirable carcass traits and feed/forage efficiency along with good phenotype and performance plus fertility. We also fertility test and ultrasound all the bulls.
