They will typically offer a $0.05/lb premium over local markets if the animal meets certain criteria, including no antibiotics or growth hormones and Limousin influenced cattle. A new program (cradle to grave) offers $100 premium for bulls that meet their criteria. See the link below for more information.

It's the fastest growing branded beef program in the US. Their premiums are some of the best in the industry. Downside: If your cattle grade Choice, they won't work and no antibiotics or growth implants allowed. If you treat a sick calf, it must be pulled from the program. At one time the cattle had to be fed in a certain feedlot and they only took groups of 100 steers at a time. They were encouraging producers to get together to make up loads. If you have a high Continental influence in your herd, you probably should look into the program. Good luck...
