Lance Cochrane - Drought Conditions
from Cattleman’s Corner Radio · host Hale Broadcasting
Join Nelseena with special guest Lance Cochran as they discuss improvements in the quality of the herd. Welcome to the Cattlemen's Corner. I'm Brian Hale, sitting in for the late Howard Hale, as we continue his legacy of speaking with cattlemen and women from around the globe. Cattlemen and cattlewomen like to have peace of mind knowing their calves will be born unassisted and alive. Getting more calves live on the ground is the first step to getting more pounds of calf weaned per cow exposed and also equates to more potential for future profit. The Gellvian Balancer breed has lowered birth weights and increased calving ease to meet demands of today's beef industry. Visit gelbvieh.org. Here's Nelseena with Lance Cochran. I think that in the 10 years and I've been familiar with Blackwell and the Sylvarn is the quality of cattle just keeps improving. It has. The drought in 2011-2012 we saw a huge liquidation of herds in this area and when people, the producers who decided to go back and get back in the business or to ramp up their herds to increase their herd size, they didn't just go and increase their herd size with any old bull or any old cow. They did it right. They went and found really good genetics. A lot of northern genetics have come south in the last 20-30 years. They were able to get a hold of some of that and they increased their genetics, the profitability of the cattle, the efficiency and I think that's so important now watching every penny that is spent, watching the return on your dollar, the return on your investment as those people in New York City to ROI's, the return on your investment. They ranchers now see the importance of that simply because of the cost of feed, cost of diesel fuel for crying out loud, cost of diesel, the cost of everything. That was Lance Cochran with our host, Nelseena Lehmann. That's going to do it for today's program and remember there's more content on the web including longer interviews at cattlemanscorner.com. Thanks again for listening and may God bless. I'm Brian Hale.
