Adding Value - Demand Pull

[per]

Well vega it might all nonsense but it makes sense to me to buy bulls that have been ultrasounded to try to determine bulls that might pass these traits on. The rib eye size and the marbling are what I am interested in. Then all the rest is the same common sense criteria that most of us use. EPDs, how they were fed, how the cows live etc. So far I am dealing with the Muntons in Lethbridge as they have been supplying several restaurants with their own beef and tracking data back to these UT traits. Their cows live on native grass most of the year like mine and as far as my own anecdotal evidence goes, their bulls survive my environment and husbandry. This was not meant to be a commercial, just one of the few that use UT on all their bulls.
