What’s Happening To The Cow Herd?
Cattlenetwork.com
If you’ve been in this business for a while, you’ve seen how the nation’s cow herd is always changing. History can sometimes be a good teacher so it is probably good to consider where we are now and to reflect on where we have been.
You can’t help but notice that most of our cow herds are black hided. That’s not necessarily a bad thing but it does raise some questions – (1) are commercial cattlemen ignoring the benefits of crossbreeding or (2) are we practicing single trait selection on things like coat color and marbling while ignoring some of the more functional traits?
